PINK PEPPERMINT WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, 1/2 cup butter, the buttermilk, vanilla, egg and chocolate with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix, until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt. On cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In large bowl, beat all filling ingredients on medium speed about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Place flat sides of 2 cookies together with scant 3 tablespoons filling, sandwich-style. Sprinkle edges of filling with crushed candies. Store in tightly covered container.

FLUFFY PEPPERMINT PIE

Steps:

• Mix cookie crumbs, sugar and butter. Press evenly in bottom and up side of ungreased pie plate, 9x1 1/2 inches.
• Place marshmallows and milk in large microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High about 3 minutes, stirring once, until marshmallows are melted. Refrigerate about 25 minutes or until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.
• Beat whipping cream, food color and peppermint extract in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Stir marshmallow mixture until blended; fold into whipped cream. Fold in crushed candies. Mound mixture into crust. Cover and freeze about 5 hours or until frozen. Cover and freeze any remaining pie.

PEPPERMINT BAVARIAN CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Stir crushed chocolate wafer crumbs, 1/4 cup white sugar, and softened butter together in a bowl. Press into an 8-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until set, at least 15 minutes.
• Pour water into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the top; let sit until gelatin softens, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup white sugar together in a bowl. Pour hot milk into egg yolk mixture in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Return egg mixture to saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir gelatin mixture into egg-yolk mixture until gelatin melts and custard is well-combined; cool to room temperature. Stir in peppermint extract and vanilla extract.
• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
• Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl until medium-soft peaks form. Fold egg whites and whipped cream into custard. Pour custard into prepared crust. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy and grated chocolate. Chill pie in the refrigerator until set, 8 hours to overnight.

NO-BAKE PEPPERMINT PIE RECIPE

• 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.

EDY'S PEPPERMINT PIE

Steps:

• In food processor, crush cookies into fine crumbs. In mixing bowl, stir together cookie crumbs and butter. With your fingers, press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and sides of 9-inch pie plate. Place in freezer about 15 minutes or until firm.*
• Meanwhile, place ice cream in refrigerator for about 15 minutes to soften. Scoop ice cream into crust and spread evenly with spatula. Pipe or spoon whipped topping around border of pie. Arrange small candy canes on top of pie. Place pie in freezer for several hours or until ice cream is firm.
• To serve, cut pie into 8 wedges. Place each wedge on a dessert plate and drizzle with chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce, if desired.

PEPPERMINT CHEESECAKE (NO BAKE)

Steps:

• Using a food processor, process cookies into crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a large bowl, add melted butter and stir to combine. Press crumbs into the bottom of a springform pan. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with vanilla and peppermint extracts, and powdered sugar. Add in whipped cream and two or three drops of pink food coloring (if using). Whisk or stir until batter is thick and smooth, and color is evenly mixed. Melt the white chocolate chips on high power in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between increments. (Mine took about 60 seconds to completely melt) Quickly add and stir to combine melted chocolate into the batter so it doesn't harden in the cool cream cheese mixture. Stir in crushed peppermint candies until evenly combined.
• Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours so filling can set.
• Garnish with chocolate chips, cookie crumbs, or crushed peppermints if desired.
