Ingredients
Crust
- 18 Oreo cookies crushed
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3.4 ounce Instant pudding mix cheesecake flavor
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 – 4 drops red gel food color
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 12 soft peppermint candies or 1 tablespoon crushed candy canes
Instructions
Crust
- Add the oreos to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. You can also add the cookies to a storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The filling tends to stick to the storage bag so I prefer the food processor.
- Add the butter to the crumbs and pulse until the butter coats the Oreo crumbs. If using the storage bag method, add the crumbs to a medium bowl and with the butter and stir until the butter coats all of the crumbs.
- Pour the oreo crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate and firmly press into the bottom and up the sides of the plate.
- Place the pie crust in the freezer or refrigerate if you don’t have room in the freezer to firm up while working on the filling.
Filling
- In a large bowl, add in the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and butter. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract and beat until combined.
- In a separate large bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix. Beat with the hand mixer until stiff peaks form and the pudding mix is thoroughly combined.
- Add the red gel food color and pudding and whipped cream mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until incorporated.
- Scoop the mixture on top of the chilled crust and spread out evenly.
- Place in the fridge for 4 hours to overnight to set up.
Whipped Cream
- Add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat using a hand mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Add the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M tip and pipe swirls on top of the pie.
- Just before serving, top each swirl of whipped cream with a soft peppermint.
- Place the pie in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
