Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 prepared Oreo cookie pie crust

For the Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup crushed peppermint candies
  • 10 drops red food coloring (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Whip the Heavy Cream
    In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Make the Peppermint Cream Cheese Filling
    In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until completely smooth.
    Mix in vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and food coloring until the color is even.
    Fold in ½ cup crushed peppermint candies.
  • Combine the Mixtures
    Gently fold the peppermint cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream. Mix on low speed until smooth and fluffy.
  • Fill the Crust
    Spoon the filling into the Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Add Topping & Chill
    Top with whipped topping and sprinkle extra crushed peppermint on top.
    Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Notes

  • Let cream cheese soften naturally—microwaving can change texture.
  • Use quality peppermint extract for the best flavor.
  • If adding crushed peppermint inside, avoid grinding it too fine.
  • For a neater swirl effect, mix in the food coloring lightly instead of fully blending.
