Have you ever wanted to indulge in some peppermint Oreo bark,
but in a pie form? Well, look no further; this is the recipe for you!
I made a few mistakes while I was making it, so I will share
them with you so you won’t mess up like I did. (I think it still turned out great
though!)
This was my first mistake. I took a picture of all the ingredients… except I forgot a very important one lurking in the refrigerator – the whipped topping! This is a foreshadowing of things to come.
I had never used unflavored gelatin before – I am a Jello fan.
So this was a little weird. It did thicken up nicely after it mixed with the water
and the milk though. It only took like 5 minutes of constant stirring.
Next was the fun part of adding the white chocolate chips!
Plop! Into the white abyss! You can’t see it in this picture, but there was
also peppermint extract wafting up in the steam. Peppermint plus white chocolate
equals the smell of Christmas.
OK, I take that back. THIS was the fun part!
While the gelatin/milk/white chocolate/peppermint mixture sits
in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, it is the perfect time to get out those
peppermints and start smashing them!
My method of choice was a hammer.
My fingers were so sticky just from unwrapping all these – I used
50 for 2 pies.
Even though I am not a big peppermint fan, there was something
magical about crushed peppermints in a chocolate pie crust.
I was so caught up in the glory of the peppermints that I
totally skipped the step about adding the whipped topping! Oops! But doesn’t
this chilled filling look beautiful as it’s being poured over the peppermints?
This was me trying to rectify the mistake. I didn’t even
measure out the 2 cups of whipped topping – just kinda eyed it? I
unsuccessfully tried to stir it into the perfectly filled pie crusts. It doesn’t
work, folks.
But going back to the peppermints… this is what they look like
when you pour out the filling – oooo, it kinda turns the filling remnants pink,
doesn’t it?!
OK, as I awaken from my peppermint reverie, this was the
attempt to fold in the whipped topping to the pie filling that I had removed
from the crust.
I think it turned out tasting great, but read the directions,
people. And then follow them. (Which means you’re actually not going to mix all
the whipped topping in to the filling.)
After a night in the refrigerator, the pie was ready to be
served! Well, almost.
I added that remaining whipped topping…
…and then (you knew it was coming… I couldn’t get away from
it!) more peppermints!
Oh, beauty. They look like little glittery sparkles in the
snow, don’t they?
This pie was made in honor of my sister, who loves peppermint.
She wanted a chocolate pie crust, but we also think an Oreo pie crust would be
a divine combination with the peppermints and white chocolate filling.
Here’s one dessert that leaves your mouth feeling fresh!
