Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 8 oz (1 package) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- A few drops of green food coloring
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped (or 1 tub whipped topping)
- ¼ cup melted chocolate
For Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or chips
- Green sprinkles or edible glitter
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until smooth. Mix in a few drops of green food coloring until evenly blended.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until fully incorporated.
- Add the Chocolate Swirl: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the filling and gently swirl with a toothpick or knife to create a marbled effect.
- Chill and Set: Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Garnish & Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and green sprinkles or edible glitter for extra sparkle. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey twist, use a pre-made chocolate crust.
- To make slicing easier, freeze the pie for 15 minutes before serving.
- Swap peppermint extract for vanilla if you prefer a non-minty version.
