Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
- Crushed candy canes, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in melted butter and stir until combined. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Beat in peppermint extract and melted white chocolate until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
- Pour the mousse mixture into the cooled pie crust.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Garnish with crushed candy canes before serving.
Notes
- For a firmer mousse, you can add 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
- Ensure your white chocolate is fully melted and slightly cooled to prevent it from seizing when added to the cream cheese mixture.
