Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup peppermint mocha flavored coffee creamer (see note)
- 2.5 candy canes crushed candy canes for garnish (see note)
- 1 9-inch Oreo pie crust (homemade or store bought)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat the heavy whipping cream and peppermint mocha creamer in a microwave-safe bowl until very hot but not boiling, about 90 seconds on high.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium bowl and pour the hot cream mixture over them. Let sit for 30 seconds, then whisk gently until smooth and thick. If necessary, warm in 15-second intervals, whisking until fully melted.
- Pour the peppermint ganache into the Oreo pie crust. Sprinkle crushed candy canes evenly over the top.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until set. For easier slicing, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
The candy canes topping may soften after refrigeration but maintains festive flavor and appearance. Use pre-made Oreo crusts for convenience if desired.
