Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if making your own crust. Combine crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter, and press into a pie pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until set, then let it cool.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and espresso powder, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly before folding into whipped cream.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently. Add peppermint extract, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Pour the creamy filling into the cooled chocolate crust, smoothing the top for presentation.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Chill overnight if possible.
- Top the pie with whipped topping and sprinkle crushed candy canes across for a festive touch before serving.
