Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups (190g) graham cracker crumbs
-
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
-
6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
-
16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
-
10 ounces (280g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
-
¼ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
-
2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
-
2 teaspoons peppermint extract
-
Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) pie plate. Refrigerate while preparing the filling to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and continue mixing until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining a light and airy texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth. Stir in peppermint extract and green food coloring (if using) until evenly blended.
Gradually fold the chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the filling fluffy.
Pour the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to firm up and flavors to meld.
Notes
