    If you love white chocolate and peppermint, you'll definitely love this Holiday White Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake Mousse Pie!  It's so heavenly!!

    We have real white chocolate and cream cheese whipped into the mousse filling with a small quarter teaspoon of peppermint extract added in. Then a fluffy blanket of whipped cream and sprinkles of peppermint candy cane are loaded on top!

    The homemade graham cracker crust is buttery, thick and very delicious and all together this fluffy cream pie is amazing!  It will look lovely on your Holiday dessert table!  Are you craving it yet?

    Psst...If you love heavenly pies, you will love this favorite Amish Peanut Butter Cream Pie, or this tempting Dark Chocolate Silk Pie! It’s Delectable! or even this Marvelous Butterscotch Pie!  You'll love them all!

    White Chocolate Peppermint Pie

    So, our family is divided on peppermint.  Half of us love it, half of us don't love it.  I'm in the half that doesn't, if it's too peppermint-y and sugar-y, I'm out. I just do not like hard candies. My husband doesn't like peppermint at all, however, we both liked this fluffy peppermint pie! It's light and airy!

    It's not overwhelming with peppermint candy flavor, plus you can control how much you peppermint flavor you want, when you add the peppermint extract and the peppermint crunch on top.

    It has small bits and pieces of peppermint in white chocolate kisses and this dessert reminds me of those Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses. Yum!

    How to Make White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse Pie

    Graham Cracker Crust

    1. Use a prepared graham cracker crust or mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl until combined.
    2. Once combined press the mixture into the bottom of the dish or pan and up the sides as far as you want it to go up, it will be thick and fits into a 9 - 10 inch pie pan.
    3. Make sure the crust is pressed together tight, you can use the bottom of a measuring cup to press it down firmer.
    4. Bake this crust for 10 minutes for 7-8 minutes at 350°F. Let cool all the way before adding filling.
    5. You can also use the option of chilling the crust for 2 hours before using in your recipe.

    White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse Filling

    1. Over medium heat, in a saucepan, heat ¾ cup heavy cream in saucepan until hot, almost to boiling, but not boiling, then remove from heat.
    2. Stir in chocolate until it's melted and then stir in peppermint extract and let cool completely.
    3. In a bowl, using mixer, beat ¾ cup heavy cream until firm peaks form. Set aside.
    4. In a large bowl, using mixer, beat the cream cheese until whipped. Set aside.
    5. Fold the cooled white chocolate mixture gently into whipped cream mixture until combined and then spoon into the cream cheese mixture and continue folding until mixed.
    6. Pour into prepared graham cracker pie crust.

    Whipped Cream & Toppings

    1. Using an electric mixer, beat 1 ½ cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
    2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
    3. Spread whipped cream over peppermint cheesecake mousse.
    4. Set in fridge for a few hours to set up.
    5. Garnish with candy cane crushed bits right before serving.

    Tips for Pie

    • It is important to make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before starting the recipe, otherwise the mixture will not combine properly, and you may end up with chunks of cream cheese throughout your pie.
    • You can also substitute your graham cracker pie for an Oreo crust, either premade or homemade Oreo Crust for a chocolate variation!
    • Make sure the white chocolate has cooled down before adding it to the whipped cream mixture for best results in the filling.
    • Do not add too much peppermint extract.  I only used a quarter teaspoon, because I added the crushed peppermint on top.  If you want more, that's cool, just know that peppermint flavor is extreme, so a little goes a long way when flavoring desserts.

    Storing Peppermint White Chocolate Cream Pie

    How long does peppermint cream pie last in the fridge? It will keep for about 3 to 4 days in the fridge; refrigerate covered loosely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

    Holiday White Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake Mousse Pie is magically wonderfully fluffy, creamy and delish!  This is best made the night before, so it sets up, in case you're on a schedule for timing your goodies!

      I have real Cocoa butter, which has no sugar, how much sugar would you add to the cocoa butter?

      There is no sugar in the filling? I just made it and put in fridge. Seems like it’s missing something. Maybe not sweet?

        The sugar is in the white chocolate Kim. Hope you enjoy!

      Your cream cheese isn't softened. You need to beat it well so it's smooth and creamy then add in your whipped cream.

      The first time I made this pie it turned out wonderful. The second time I doubled the recipe. Everything looked fine until I added the cooled choc/whipped cream mixture to the whipped cream cheese. The cream cheese didn't fold in well. The texture was lumpy. It didn't set up well. I am not sure why. Any ideas?

      • ChocolaTess says

        January 16, 2017 at 12:00 pm

        Hi Marilyn! I haven't double the recipe, but if it wasn't mixing in well, I would probably use a mixer and on the lowest speed and try mixing it that way. Another thing is the cream cheese should be very softened and whipped well. If it's still kind of firm it doesn't mix well with the chocolate mixture. For future if you do a double batch, beat it in the whipped cream, by adding 1/4 of the whipped cream at a time until it is mixed in and then keep repeating until it's all added in. There is so much whipped cream and chocolate all in one bowl, so maybe that had something to do with it. Hope that helps! 🙂

      December 19, 2016 at 10:30 pm

      Was wondering if I could make this ahead of Christmas and freeze it?

      • ChocolaTess says

        December 19, 2016 at 11:06 pm

        Hi Margie, Yes you can do this, but I would not add the peppermint on until you are ready to serve.
        Place the pie in the freezer and once it's frozen,the best solution for most 9-inch pie plates is, they will slip inside a one-gallon bag, and some stores carry two-gallon bags. Seal the bag, and the pie will stay fresh without absorbing any other odors from the freezer.

        When thawing, you can either thaw it in the refrigerator rather than on the counter and count on five hours or more of thawing time or remove the pie from the freezer about 25 minutes before serving. Return any leftover pie to the freezer.
        Enjoy!
