Time 9h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups crushed chocolate wafer cookies
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup cold water
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1 cup milk
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1 cup heavy whipping cream
⅔ cup crushed peppermint candy
½ (1 ounce) square bittersweet chocolate, grated

Steps:

  • Stir crushed chocolate wafer crumbs, 1/4 cup white sugar, and softened butter together in a bowl. Press into an 8-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until set, at least 15 minutes.
  • Pour water into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the top; let sit until gelatin softens, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup white sugar together in a bowl. Pour hot milk into egg yolk mixture in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Return egg mixture to saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir gelatin mixture into egg-yolk mixture until gelatin melts and custard is well-combined; cool to room temperature. Stir in peppermint extract and vanilla extract.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl until medium-soft peaks form. Fold egg whites and whipped cream into custard. Pour custard into prepared crust. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy and grated chocolate. Chill pie in the refrigerator until set, 8 hours to overnight.

This pie was delicious! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and creamy. The peppermint flavor was perfect, and it wasn't too overpowering. I would definitely make this pie again.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and creamy. I would recommend using a little less sugar in the filling next time.

This pie was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was dry and crumbly, and the filling was too runny. I think I might have overbaked it. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would make some changes to the crust and filling.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but I thought this pie was delicious. The chocolate cookie crust was the perfect base for the creamy filling, and the peppermint flavor was subtle but still noticeable. I would definitely recommend this pie to anyone

This pie was a hit at my holiday party! The combination of peppermint and chocolate is always a winner, and the creamy filling was light and fluffy. I would definitely make this again.
