Light and fluffy candy cane flavored filling surrounded by a chocolate cookie crumb crust. It’s like a holiday dream come true. And, it’s super easy to make!
Break wafers into smaller pieces, and place in a food processor; pulse until fine crumbs. Add melted butter to cookie crumbs, and process until well blended. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan. Freeze crust while preparing filling.
Make the filling:
In a heavy saucepan, combine marshmallows and milk over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
Stir in vanilla, salt, and peppermint extract. Cool 30 minutes, stirring several times.
While you’re waiting for the marshmallow mixture to cool, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, until medium peaks form.
Fold whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies into the marshmallow mixture. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top so it’s pretty.
Refrigerate the pie, covered, 8 hours or overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle with additional crushed peppermint candies.
