Instructions

1. If using a homemade crust, combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter and press into a pie dish. Chill while preparing the filling.

2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and peppermint extract. Blend until creamy and smooth.

3. Stir in red food coloring until a soft pink color is reached.

4. Fold in whipped topping gently until well incorporated. Mix in half of the crushed peppermint candies.

5. Pour filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top and sprinkle with remaining crushed candies.

6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.

7. Before serving, garnish with whipped topping, chocolate chips, or curls if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

This pie can be made a day ahead to save time.

Adjust the peppermint extract to taste for a stronger or milder flavor.

For a brighter color, add an extra drop of food coloring, but start with less and build up.
