No Bake Candy Cane Pie

A festive, creamy, chocolatey no-bake pie with a peppermint twist, featuring a chocolate crust, chocolate pudding layer, a cream cheese mixture with peppermint, and whipped topping decorated with candy canes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chocolate pie crust
  • 1 (3.9 oz) box Jell-O instant chocolate pudding
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup peppermint mocha creamer
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (clear)
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping
  • 3/4 cup red and green chocolate chips
  • 4 teaspoons cold water
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • Candy cane pieces for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together Jell-O pudding mix, milk, and peppermint mocha creamer for 2 minutes. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to set.
  2. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the pudding mixture into the prepared chocolate pie crust, spreading evenly. Freeze for 2 hours to set completely.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and peppermint extracts and fold in the whipped topping, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the set pudding layer in the pie crust.
  5. Return the pie to the freezer to chill for 1 hour.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat cold water and gelatin until dissolved, then whip with cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Pipe whipped gelatin topping onto the pie surface, decorate with candy cane pieces.
  8. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use a peppermint mocha creamer for extra flavor; ensure pudding layer is fully frozen before adding cream cheese topping to avoid mixing layers; pipe whipped gelatin topping for festive presentation.
