: No-Bake Candy Cane Pie with Creamy Peppermint Filling

Ingredients

For the crust (you can also use a ready-made one):

• 1 ready-made graham cracker tart crust

If you prefer a homemade base, the following simple mixture creates a firm and flavorful crust with a subtle buttery aroma that pairs beautifully with the cool peppermint filling.

• 1.5 cups finely ground biscuits (petibör or graham)
• 5 tablespoons melted butter

Filling:

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese – at room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 cups cold whipped cream (whipped cream or 1 packet whipped topping + 1 cup cold milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
• 4–5 crushed candy canes
• A few drops of red food coloring (optional)

For the topping:

• Whipped cream
• Crushed candy canes

This festive no-bake dessert combines a buttery biscuit crust with a light, creamy peppermint filling. Candy cane pieces add crunch and holiday flavor, while whipped cream and extra crushed candy canes create a cheerful finish.
