Pai Peppermint Kerak Oreo

Instructions

1. In a food processor fitted with the blade, pulse de-frosted Oreos until completely crumbled.
2. Add in butter and brown sugar, pulse until everything is well mixed.
3. Pour mixture into a 9” pie pan and press firmly around the bottom and sides until your mixture is well packed evenly around the pan.
4. Bake at 350℉ for 10 minutes.
5. Let cool completely before filling. You can chill it in the fridge to speed up the process.
6. Soften your gelatin by pouring it in a bowl with your cold water, let sit.
7. In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup of your heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of your crushed peppermint candy on medium low heat until the candy dissolves, stirring every few minutes. Remove from heat.
8. Add your gelatin water, vanilla, and peppermint extract to the hot mixture and whisk to combine, set aside at room temperature to cool, but do not allow it to cool and set completely yet.
9. Whip the remaining 1 ½ cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form
10. Gently fold the peppermint mixture, and remaining ½ cup crushed peppermint candy into the whipped cream.
11. Pour filling into your oreo crust and spread evenly.
12. Allow to set completely before garnishing and serving. About 2 hours in the fridge.
13. Beat your heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until stiff peaks form
14. Garnish the top with your whipped cream and sprinkled crushed candy. I piped mine in simple swirls around the edge of my pie and additionally garnished with one whole candy on each swirl. You can get creative with this step, have some fun with it!
