Frozen Peppermint Dessert
This frozen peppermint dessert is a quick, simple, no bake dessert from my childhood. It was always the favorite at the Robinson family Christmas parties.
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreos
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed peppermint candy
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a standing mixer with the whisk attachment. Whip on high until you reach a stiff peak
- While the whip cream is mixing, put the package of Oreos in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Stop the cream when done and set aside.
- Melt the 4 tbsp unsalted butter and mix the Oreo bits and butter together. Pour the buttered Oreo crumbs into a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Reserving 3/4 cup of Oreo for the top.
- Take another ziplock bag and crush 1 cup of peppermint candy canes or candies until fine with the rolling pin.
- Fold the crushed peppermints and 2 cup mini marshmallows into the finished whipped cream
- Pour the peppermint whipped cream mixture on top of the Oreos that are spread out on the greased cookie sheet.
- Use the back of a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to spread the mixture out until it covers the whole cookie sheet
- Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cups of Oreo bits on top of the dessert
- Cover the finished dessert with tinfoil and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving, or even better, make the day before you serve so that the dessert can freeze overnight.
