Today is the conclusion of Pie Week. I hope you enjoyed all of the pies that were shared over the week. Brandy and Audra did a great job putting everything together. Today there is an amazing giveaway thanks to Kitchen Aid. Don’t miss the other giveaways either; OXO and Le Creuset, Cabot and King Arthur Flour. So many great things you can win, I have to say I am just slightly jealous!
Tis’ the season for all things peppermint. Once November hits, I am ready for peppermint in all forms. I have already made 1 kind of peppermint cookie to share, and have another one I am working on. So hopefully you enjoy peppermint as much as I do! On my husbands side of the family we always have Grasshopper pie for the holidays. That is still one of my favorites, but the white chocolate mousse in this pie, really gives it a run for its money.
I made this white chocolate peppermint mousse pie to take to cooking club this month. To say it was a hit, is kind of an understatement. Everyone raved about this pie. I brought the few leftovers home, and my 8 year old went crazy for it. It has a peppermint white chocolate mousse in an Oreo cookie crust, topped with fresh whipped cream, and garnished candy canes. Definitely a pretty enough pie to celebrate with. I used Oreo’s for the crust, but if you have other chocolate cookies they would be perfect too.
