Instructions

Mix crushed cookies with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill while preparing filling.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Add peppermint extract. Fold in whipped topping until fluffy and combined.
For a swirl effect, gently fold in red food coloring to create streaks.
Spoon filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Before serving, top with extra whipped topping, crushed candy canes, and chocolate curls if using.

Notes

Use a graham cracker crust for a lighter base.

Add mini chocolate chips for texture.

Try green or both red and green food coloring for a more festive look.

Drizzle with hot fudge or ganache for extra indulgence.

Pie freezes well—thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
