    Ingredients

    • 1.5 cups crushed chocolate cookies

    • 0.25 cup melted butter

    • 2 cups whipping cream

    • 0.5 cup powdered sugar

    • 1 tsp peppermint extract

    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

    • 0.5 cup crushed peppermint candies

    Directions

    • In a medium bowl, mix the crushed chocolate cookies with the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and holds together.
    • Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
    • Using a mixer, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks are formed. Add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese until completely combined.
    • Carefully spoon the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Top with crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch.
    • Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set before serving.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
