Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups crushed Oreo cookies
8 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, softened
¾ cup sugar
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
¾ cup crushed peppermint candy canes
1 ¼ cup whipped cream

Steps:

  • Crush the Oreo cookies by pulsing them into crumbs in a food processor. Melt the butter. In a large bowl, add the crushed Oreos and stir in the melted butter with a fork. Once clumps begin to form, and the mixture is well incorporated, press it into a pie plate. Put the crust in the freezer to set while making the filling.
  • Crush the peppermint candy canes in a food processor until broken up into fine crumbs.
  • Whip the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. You can also mix the softened cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon if you don't have a stand mixer.
  • Mix in the peppermint extract and crushed peppermint candy canes. Fold in the whipped cream.
  • Spread the filling in the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Put the peppermint pie in the fridge to set for two to three hours.

Categories     dessert

Time 9h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup sweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
5 teaspoons coconut oil
Three 1/4-ounce packages unflavored powdered gelatin
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
10 soft peppermints (about 2 ounces), crushed, plus more for topping
Chocolate curls, for topping

Steps:

  • For the chocolate crust: Pulse the flour, cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, oil and salt in a food processor until the texture of fine meal. Add the butter and pulse until pea-size pieces form. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together. If the dough doesn't hold together, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse again.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Freeze 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat a sheet of aluminum foil with nonstick spray.
  • Pierce the bottom of the chilled dough all over with a fork. Line the dough with the foil, sprayed-side down, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are set, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust is no longer glossy on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
  • Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Paint a thin layer of chocolate all over the bottom and sides of the crust. Let set at room temperature until the chocolate is hardened, about 15 minutes.
  • For the filling: Put 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan and sprinkle over the gelatin. Let sit until the gelatin is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and heat over medium heat, whisking occasionally, just until the gelatin and sugar are dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the peppermint extract.
  • Pour the gelatin mixture into a large bowl and stir in 2 cups cold water. Use a spoon to scoop away any bubbles at the surface. Refrigerate, stirring every 10 minutes, until the gelatin just begins to thicken and is the consistency of thin fruit jelly, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Pour the gelatin mixture into the crust and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the meringue: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a heatproof stand mixer's bowl above the water.
  • Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, salt and egg whites to the mixing bowl and whisk together by hand. Set the bowl above the boiling water and whisk until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar is completely dissolved (about 150 degrees F).
  • Transfer to the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the peppermint extract and beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is cool and the whites hold stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
  • To assemble: Arrange the crushed peppermints around the edge of the pie. Cut into slices and top each with meringue, chocolate curls and more crushed peppermint.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon espresso powder, optional
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
14 oz marshmallow cream
2 ½ cups powdered sugar, plus more as needed
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
40 crushed peppermint candies

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Make the cakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder, if using.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and peppermint extract and beat until smooth and lightened in color, about 1 minute.
  • Add about a third of the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until combined, then add half of the milk and mix until incorporated. Continue alternating additions of the dry ingredients and milk, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Use a 1½-ounce ice cream scoop to portion out the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cakes for 12-14 minutes, until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Make the marshmallow filling: Add the butter and marshmallow creme to a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until fully combined, 2-3 minutes. Sift in the powdered sugar and salt, then beat for another 2-3 minutes, until combined. The mixture should be stiff; if not, add a few more tablespoons of powdered sugar. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Place the piping bag in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before assembling the whoopie pies.
  • When ready to assemble, cut a 1-inch (2.5 cm)-wide opening from the corner of the piping bag.
  • Pipe a thick spiral of the filling (¼-⅓ cup) onto the flat sides of half of the cakes, leaving a ¼-inch (½ cm) border around the edge. Place the remaining cakes on top of the filling, domed sides up, and press down lightly to adhere.
  • Add the crushed peppermint candies to a bowl. Roll the sides of each whoopie pie into the peppermint candies to coat. (For a more polished look, use a spoon to tilt the crushed peppermints onto the exposed filling).
  • Refrigerate the whoopie pies until ready to serve, then remove from the refrigerator at least 10 minutes prior to serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a 9-inch pie plate for this recipe.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start mixing the crust ingredients. This will help to keep the crust flaky.
  • Be sure to pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • When making the filling, be sure to use full-fat cream cheese. This will give the pie a rich and creamy texture.
  • Do not overbeat the cream cheese mixture. Overbeating can cause the filling to become grainy.
  • Be sure to chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
  • Top the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed candy canes before serving.

Conclusion:

This fluffy peppermint pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy peppermint filling is light and fluffy, and the chocolate cookie crust is the perfect complement. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
