Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Cookie Crust:
- 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust (9-inch)
Filling:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ tsp peppermint extract
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping, plus extra for garnish
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Crushed mint chocolates or chocolate shavings for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Chocolate Filling: Heat ½ cup heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips, let sit, then stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add peppermint extract and food coloring if desired.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture.
- Combine and Chill: Stir in cooled chocolate, pour mixture into crust, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with whipped cream and mint chocolates before serving.
Notes
- Use peppermint extract sparingly—it’s strong.
- For a more intense chocolate layer, swirl in extra melted chocolate before chilling.
- Pie can be made 1–2 days in advance.
