Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 9-inch Oreo cookie crust
Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
  • 0.75 cup crushed candy canes plus extra for garnish

Method
 

Filling
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract, then continue beating until the mixture is glossy, about 1 minute.
  3. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip and crushed candy canes gently to maintain the airy texture.
Assembly
  1. Spoon the filling into the Oreo crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set, then sprinkle additional crushed candy canes on top before slicing.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth, lump-free filling.
Refrigerate the pie within two hours of assembly and store at or below 40°F for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and food safety.
