Hot Cocoa Pie

A partially sliced pie with whipped topping and crushed peppermint sits on a table, surrounded by candy canes, plates with pie slices, a fork, a plaid cloth, and pine greenery.

Hot Cocoa Pie is smooth, chocolatey, and topped with gooey marshmallow fluff. It’s like your favorite winter drink turned into a dreamy slice of pie.

Ingredients

for the crust-

22 Oreo cookies
1/4 cup unsalted butter

for the filling-

8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3 1/2 tabelspoons hot cocoa mix 1 packet
1 cup heavy cream cold

for the topping-

1 cup marshmallow fluff
2 candy canes crushed
1/4 cup marshmallow bits for garnish
3 Oreo cookies crushed, for garnish
hot fudge or chocolate syrup, for garnish, optional

Instructions

Spray a 9-10 inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

for the crust-

Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and process into crumbs. Slowly drizzle in butter and process until the crumbs start to clump up.
Pour the cookie mixture into greased pie dish, pressing down evenly to bottom and sides to form your crust. Place in the freezer while you make the filling.

for the filling-

In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Mix in the hot cocoa mix and heavy cream until well blended.
Remove pie dish from freezer and pour filling on top of crust. Smooth out with a spoon to even it out.
Cover with plastic wrap and return to freezer for about 2 hours, or until mostly firm.

for the topping-

Remove pie from freezer and spread the marshmallow fluff top*, leaving about a 1 inch edge without fluff.
Sprinkle the crushed candy canes, marshmallow bits, and crushed Oreos over top.
If desired, drizzle hot fudge or chocolate syrup over the full pie, or individual slices.

Notes

*If you’re having trouble getting the fluff to spread on the pie, make sure the pie is mostly solid, and try microwaving the fluff for 10-20 seconds if needed, to help it spread better.

Storage Instructions

Store covered in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Once the fluff is on the top of the pie, do not freeze.
