Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined and there are no lumps. Then, add the peppermint extract and mix again until incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until everything is well blended and smooth. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; this will keep the filling light and airy.
- Pour the mint chocolate cheesecake filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once the pie is set, remove it from the refrigerator and garnish the top with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, and extra whipped cream if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Extra Tips:
For an extra burst of mint flavor, consider adding finely chopped mint leaves to the filling. If you want to make the pie even more decadent, you can drizzle some chocolate sauce over the top before serving. This pie pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an indulgent treat.
