Holiday Recipes

Candy Pie Delight

A popular favorite Christmas candy pie recipe is the no-bake Candy Cane Delight, known for its effortless preparation and rich, peppermint flavor, and ease of preparation during the holiday season. The recipe calls for mixing melted marshmallows, a graham cracker crust, a cream filling made from cream cheese, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes. Decorate the pie with additional whipped cream and crushed peppermints for a festive touch!

Ingredients:

  • Melted marshmallows: make the base of this candy cane pie and lend a creamy texture and sweet taste.
  • Whole milk: Whole milk assists in melting the marshmallows for a consistent texture.
  • Peppermint extract: Peppermint extract mimics a candy cane flavor for the pie.
  • Red food coloring: for visual appeal to give the pie a festive pink hue.
  • Peppermint candy: Crushed peppermint candy acts as one of the garnishes and flavoring.
  • Whipped cream: lightens up the filling.
  • Chocolate crumb crust: simply use a pre-made chocolate crumb crust from the store.
