Holiday Mint Pie Recipe + Cash for Christmas Giveaway

I have participated in this Christmas giveaway for at least three years now. It is always my favorite as we get to bless some of our followers with some cash right before Christmas.

This year, I want to share with you a favorite Holiday Mint Pie we make every year. It is so easy to make, and very yummy. If you like mint at all, you will like this pie. It is not an over-powering mint flavor and the pie is light and not super rich.

Here’s how you make Holiday Mint Pie:

• Mix 1 cup crushed Keebler Grasshopper Fudge Mint Cookies and 3 tablespoons hot water.

• Spoon into a graham cracker crust and gently spread to cover bottom.

• Beat 3 ounces cream cheese until smooth; gradually beat in 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Fold in 3 1/2 cups whipped topping. Divide mixture in half.
• Stir 6-10 drops of green food coloring into one half of the mixture until it is evenly colored.

• Fill pie crust with alternate dollops of white and green whipped topping mixtures.

• Smooth top of pie with spatula. Chill 3 hours.

• Make berries and holly leaves using cinnamon candies and spearmint leaves or crush up a candy cane and sprinkle it over the top of the pie or sprinkle crushed up mint cookie on the top of the pie.
