Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup crushed peppermint candies

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the melted white chocolate and peppermint extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until light and fluffy.
  6. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the top. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For cleaner slices, dip a knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts. You can also garnish with white chocolate curls or whipped cream rosettes.
