Recipe For Chocolate Peppermint Pie

Chocolate peppermint cream pie is velvety smooth, rich chocolate pie with a healthy layer of peppermint, then kissed with whipped cream for a little extra joy to your taste buds.

This recipe came about as a maternity test for Sons #2 & #3. Allow me to explain…you see, in the midst of Pie Week my middle sons declared that they do not like pie. Imagine my horror! Not like pie?! To which I responded, “

The Chocolate Peppermint pie filling is rich, creamy, and chocolaty enough to stand on it’s own.

In fact, it’s so refreshing that I fully embrace this chocolate peppermint union.

For the chocolate layer, melt milk chocolate, butter, and espresso powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until ingredients are combined; remove.

Beat eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and salt in a bowl with a hand mixer on high speed, until mixture turns pale yellow and falls from the beaters in thick ribbons.

Whisk one-third of the egg mixture into the chocolate, then fold in the remaining egg mixture in two batches. Pour chocolate filling into unbaked cookie crust.

Bake pie until chocolate layer is no longer shiny, about 30 minutes. Remove pie from oven; cool to room temperature, then thoroughly chill.

For the peppermint mousse, heat white chocolate, ¼ cup cream, and sour cream in a saucepan over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until chocolate melts and ingredients are combined. Off heat, stir in crushed candies. Occasionally whisk mixture until it cools to nearly room temperature.

Whip the remaining ¾ cup cream in a separate bowl with the hand mixer, until it forms soft peaks. Fold whipped cream into peppermint mixture in three batches to form mousse; chill at least 2 hours.
