Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 chocolate cookie crust
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup peppermint schnapps
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and ensuring all tools are clean and ready.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and begin whipping with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks start to form.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the whipping cream, continuing to mix until stiff, glossy peaks develop.
- Gently fold in the chocolate syrup, creating a marbled effect throughout the whipped cream mixture.
- Slowly incorporate the peppermint schnapps, stirring carefully to maintain the cream's light texture.
- Take the pre-made chocolate cookie crust and spread the minty chocolate cream mixture evenly across the surface.
- Use a spatula to smooth the top of the pie, ensuring an even distribution of the filling.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, you may optionally garnish with additional chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Chill Your Mixing Bowl: For the fluffiest whipped cream, refrigerate your mixing bowl and whisk/beaters for 15 minutes before starting.
- Soft vs. Stiff Peaks: Watch your cream carefully when whipping. Soft peaks are when the cream slightly droops, while stiff peaks stand straight up when the beater is lifted.
- Fold Gently: When adding chocolate syrup and peppermint schnapps, use a folding motion to maintain the cream's light, airy texture.
- Chilling is Key: Allow at least 2 hours of refrigeration to let the flavors meld and the pie set properly.
- Optional Garnish: For an extra touch of elegance, consider garnishing with chocolate shavings, mint leaves, or a light dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
- Serve Cold: This pie is best enjoyed straight from the refrigerator to maintain its perfect creamy consistency.
