Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Peppermint Pie
  1. Begin by pouring 1 cup of heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  4. Pour the combined peppermint filling into the chocolate cookie crust and spread evenly.
  5. Layer on a generous amount of Cool Whip on top and sprinkle crushed peppermint candy bits all over. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
