This dessert recipe will quickly become a holiday favorite! It combines subtle peppermint flavor with marshmallows, whipped cream and a chocolate sandwich cookie crust. Yum!
Finely crush cookies. I used a food processor but you may also place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and roll over the bag with a rolling pin until they are crushed. In a small bowl, using a fork, stir together cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press mixture in a 9 inch pie plate forming a crust. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For the Pie
In a saucepan, combine marshmallows and milk over low heat.
Stir and cook until marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
Stir in red food coloring, peppermint extract, vanilla and salt.
Cool the mixture for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Fold in whipped cream. Pour the mixture over crust. Refrigerate, covered overnight.
Serve with extra whipped cream and peppermint candy for garnish.
