Chocolate Peppermint Pie Recipe
Impress family & dinner guests with this unique dessert consisting of white and semi-sweet chocolate chips paired with crushed peppermint candies. It’s pepperminty, chocolaty, creamy, rich, decadent, festive…frozen but not too firm. We declare it best with the Oreo crust.

Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 c confectioners' sugar
- 3 Safest Choice™ pasteurized egg(s)
- 1 c white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
- 1 c whipped cream

- 1/2 c semisweet or dark chocolate chips, melted
Preparation
- Place cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low speed to combine. Increase speed to high; beat until smooth, scraping bowl as necessary. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Remove 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture; set aside. Add white chocolate to remaining mixture; beat on medium to combine. By hand, fold in whipped cream. Gently stir in peppermint. Pour into pie crust. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir chocolate chips into reserved 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture. Remove pie from refrigerator. Slowly pour chocolate mixture over pie. Spread to cover pie, or use knife to swirl chocolate. Freeze, covered, until firm.

The Raw Egg Risk
Safest Choice™ Eggs aren't just good for sunny side up or poached eggs. Consider all the recipes that feature raw eggs, like eggnog, Caesar salad dressing, raw cookie dough, custard and more. Take homemade ice cream, for example. Over a four-year period, more than 500 illnesses in the US were traced to Salmonella bacteria in homemade ice cream, according to the CDC. The ingredient at fault? Raw or undercooked eggs.
