Preparation
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the peppermint extract.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the melted chocolate chips to the filling and fold gently until just combined for that delightful marbled effect.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, top with additional whipped cream and fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
This pie is budget-friendly and allows for creative topping variations such as whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed peppermint candies. For a dairy-free version, replace cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese.
