Common Questions About Making a No Bake Peppermint Pie
What is a no bake peppermint pie?
A no bake peppermint pie is a simple dessert with a oreo crust that is made by making a filling that has a pudding base that is flavored with peppermint extract and then topped with whipped topping and crushed candy canes.
Can I use a pre-made crust?
Of course! You could definitely use a chocolate graham cracker crust or a pre-made oreo crust. Just don’t use a buttered pie crust recipe, it will taste weird.
How can I decorate this pie?
I like to sprinkle crushed candy canes on top but you could also use crushed oreos, candy cane rounds, or peppermint kisses.
How many servings does this recipe make?
This recipe makes about 8 servings.
Do I need to refrigerate peppermint pie?
Yes, because there is dairy in the recipe, the pie needs to be refrigerated after it is made.
