→ How long should the pie chill before serving?: For the best texture, chill at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure it sets properly.
→ Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought?: Yes, whipping your own cream adds a fresh, light texture to the filling and topping.
→ Is it necessary to add red food coloring?: No, it’s optional. It adds a festive look but the flavor remains the same without it.
→ Can I use a different crust?: Yes, chocolate cookie or Oreo crusts also pair beautifully with peppermint flavors.

Peppermint pie with candy canes and marshmallows in a graham crust. A festive treat for any holiday occasion.

Ingredients

1 prepared graham cracker pie crust

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Red food coloring, as needed

1/2 cup crushed candy canes, divided

1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Whipped cream, for garnish

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing continuously until fully blended.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.

Stir in peppermint extract and add a few drops of red food coloring for a festive swirl, if desired.

Fold in most of the crushed candy canes, reserving a small amount for garnish.

Spread the filling evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Just before serving, decorate the pie with whipped cream, reserved crushed candy canes, and mini marshmallows.

For best results, chill the pie overnight to ensure a firm set and optimal flavor.
