Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Crust
  • 1 crust Chocolate Crust Provides a rich, chocolatey base that pairs perfectly with the filling; save time by using a pre-made crust.
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Adds a luxurious creaminess; remember to whip it when cold for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the filling without the graininess of granulated sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon Espresso Powder Deepens the chocolate flavor; substitute with instant coffee powder if desired.
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips (Milk/Dark) The primary flavor source for the filling; opt for dark chocolate if you love rich flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract Infuses that classic mint flavor; vanilla extract makes an excellent alternative.
For Garnishing
  • 1 cup Whipped Topping Adds a light, airy finish; try homemade whipped cream for a personal touch.
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Candy Canes Brings a festive crunch and visual appeal.

Equipment

  • electric mixer
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peppermint Mocha Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you're using a pre-made chocolate crust, bake it according to the package instructions for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the powdered sugar and espresso powder until combined.
  3. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Pour the melted chocolate into the whipped cream mixture and gently fold it in. Add peppermint extract and stir gently.
  5. Pour the filling into the cooled chocolate crust, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Remove from the refrigerator and top with whipped topping and crushed candy canes. Slice and serve.
