White Chocolate Peppermint Oreo Pie
This post is sponsored by PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese. As always, all opinions are mine.
Christmas is here and it is by far my favorite time of year to try new recipes! I love whipping up new desserts especially this time of year to share with family.
This year, I decided to create one of my own new Christmas recipes… and let me tell you what, my family was SO happy I did!
A few of my favorite indulgent foods are
- white chocolate
- cream cheese
- Oreos
So, why not create a holiday dessert that incorporates all of my favorites?!? So I introduce to you my White Chocolate Peppermint Oreo Pie!
I love being in my kitchen cooking, but I don’t like it when a recipe has a million different steps and a lot of room for error, to be honest. I like it quick, simple, and delicious.
I’m a busy Mom and I love feeding my family good food, but I don’t believe we have to spend hours on a recipe!
This recipe can be whipped up in 5 minutes!
Then you put it in the refrigerator before serving and you’ll have a new dessert that will leave them begging for seconds!
You need 7 simple ingredients to make the White Chocolate Peppermint Oreo Pie
- White Chocolate Pudding Mix
- Milk
- Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- Powdered Sugar
- Cool Whip
- Oreo Pie crust
- Candy Canes
I love using cream cheese for desserts.
And Philadelphia Cream Cheese is always my go-to. The addition of cream cheese makes this pie richer and creamier and gives it such a great texture that I know you are going to love it. I personally think that cream cheese makes everything better!
How do you make an Oreo Pie?
I chose an Oreo crust for this recipe because it would make for a good crust with the creaminess of the Philadelphia Cream Cheese, powdered sugar and Cool Whip. Plus, you can buy an Oreo crust and that makes it so easy!
A few tips I want to share about this pie.
- It will be a softer pie, so make sure you are able to leave it refrigerated for a minimum of 2 hours.
- If you want to have a firmer pie you can freeze it for an hour or so, but I don’t recommend freezing it for longer than that. We froze one overnight and we didn’t enjoy it as much as we did when we’d just refrigerated it.
- Using whole milk will also give you a bit of a firmer pie.
- Add the candy canes right before serving so it doesn’t bleed onto the pie
I hope this Christmas holiday is an enjoyable one. My wish for you is to enjoy Christmas and the company you are surrounded by, the gifts you find under your tree, and the food on your plate.

What size box pudding mix?
3.3 oz box
Can I make this a day ahead?
It should be just fine made the day ahead. Enjoy!
Can this be frozen?
I have never frozen it. I assume it would work ok, but can’t make any guarantees since I haven’t tested that out.
Very good! So easy. Perhaps I did it wrong but I think one batch could easily fill two pie crusts! I had lots of filling left over so I crumbled Oreos in the bottom of ramekins and poured the filling on top for individual pies!
SO glad you enjoyed it! I wonder if you used more pudding than it called for? I haven’t had that issue, but I’m glad you got creative and used the extra for individual treats!!!
Bringing this for Christmas desert doubled ingredients to make 9×13
Followed recipe on Oreo crumb box to make base
Looks amazing
I added chopped white chocolate to the pudding mixture just because
You gave this recipe a glow up! I can’t wait to see how everyone loved it!
Same here, way too much to put in one pie crust. And the photos look like there’s a layer of cool whip on top of the pudding mixture. Did you only add 1/2 the cool whip to the pudding and put the rest on top?
Hi Val, thanks for the feedback. Did you use a 3.3 oz box of pudding? I mixed it all together just like the recipe calls for. I’m unsure why it made so much for a few of you. I’m going to retest the recipe and see. I created it in 2018 and 2 of you had this issue this year so I want to ensure it’s right. I appreciate you letting me know.
This was made one day before serving. When we served it the next day, it was soft and not set up even though it had been refrigerated for 24 hours. Used crunched peppermint twists for topping because couldn’t find peppermint candy canes!! The candies bled onto the topping. It tasted okay but didnt look the greatest! Rechecked the recipe and all amounts were correct
I’m so sorry this didn’t set for you, Dan. Did you add the peppermint candy right before it was ready to eat or did you put it on before placing in the fridge? I’d recommend adding the peppermint last.
Thanks for the feedback
