The Christmas Season has many flavors: eggnog, ginger, cinnamon, pumpkin, chocolate and peppermint. For our family, nothing says Christmas more than Peppermint Fudge Pie
I got this recipe in Junior High. I took an advanced cooking class, Hostess Class, where we planned and prepared menus for dignitaries that visited the school. We made this pie during the holiday season. A few years ago, I resurrected this recipe and it has become a family favorite ever since. Hopefully you and your family will enjoy it just as much.
Peppermint Fudge Pie
2 cups crushed cream filled chocolate cookies (Like Oreos but I use the cheap market brand)
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup milk
Red food coloring
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
Combine cookie crumbs and margarine. Press into a 9 inch pie plate. Chill.
Melt 3 cups marshmallows with milk in a double boiler or saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
Chill until slightly thickened.
Mix until well blended. Tint with a few drops of red coloring. Fold in whipped cream, remaining marshmallows, and candy.
Pour into crust. Wrap securely with saran wrap and freeze. Place in refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
