Why You’ll Love This Peppermint Pie

No-bake & stress-free: It sets in the fridge, so no oven required.
Festive and vibrant: The pink hue and candy topping make it a visual treat.
Cool and creamy texture: Balanced by the crunch of the chocolate crust.
Perfect make-ahead dessert: It holds up beautifully when made a day in advance.

What Kind of Chocolate Crust Should I Use?

You can use a store-bought chocolate cookie crust for convenience, but if you’re feeling a bit extra, make your own using chocolate graham crackers or Oreo cookies with melted butter. Homemade gives you more control over thickness and flavor!

Ingredients for the Holiday Bliss Christmas Peppermint Pie

Each ingredient here plays an essential role in building the peppermint pie’s signature flavor and texture.

Chocolate Cookie Crust: The deep cocoa flavor is the perfect base to complement the cool peppermint filling.
Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese adds a rich, creamy body and tang to balance the sweetness.
Powdered Sugar: Blends smoothly into the filling, sweetening without grittiness.
Peppermint Extract: The star flavor—just a little gives that signature holiday zing.
Red Gel Food Coloring: For a light pink holiday touch; totally optional.
Whipped Topping (Cool Whip): Adds fluffiness and lightness to the filling.
Crushed Peppermint Candies: For festive crunch and decoration.
Whipped Cream (for topping): Makes each slice feel special and celebratory.

How To Make the Holiday Bliss Christmas Peppermint Pie

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Use a premade chocolate crust or press a homemade mixture of crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter into a pie pan. Chill it for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Whip the Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add peppermint extract and a drop or two of red gel food coloring for a soft pink hue.

Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the whipped topping until the filling is fluffy and well-combined.

Step 4: Fill and Chill

Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 5: Decorate and Serve

Top with piped whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies before slicing. Serve chilled.

How to Serve and Store This Christmas Pie

This peppermint pie is best served chilled, making it an easy grab-and-go dessert for busy holiday gatherings. It feeds about 8 to 10 people, depending on how generous your slices are. For clean cuts, use a knife dipped in warm water.

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the pie (without toppings) for up to 2 months — just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
