Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or hand whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons.
  • Food processor or rolling pin (for crushing candy canes)
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs about 20 chocolate sandwich cookies, filling removed
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ½ cup crushed candy canes plus extra for topping

For Topping (Optional but Recommended)

  • ½ cup whipped cream
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or melted chocolate
  • Extra crushed candy canes

Instructions
 

Step 1: Make the Chocolate Crust

  • In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to set. This helps it hold together beautifully when sliced.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

  • In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. This whipped cream will give the filling its light, fluffy texture.

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

  • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and peppermint extract, mixing until fully combined.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Take your time here — you want it light and airy.

Step 4: Add Candy Canes

  • Fold in crushed candy canes, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Step 5: Assemble the Pie

  • Spoon the filling into the chilled chocolate crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Before serving, top with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate, and sprinkle extra crushed candy canes over the top.
  • Slice, serve, and watch it disappear.
