Equipment

  • 9 inch pie pan (deep dish not recommended)
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • silicone spatula
  • whisk or hand mixer

Ingredients
  

For the pie crust

  • 1 dough ball Wholly Wholesome NEW Organic Pie and Pastry Dough

For the peppermint brownie filling

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate peppermint baking chips or chopped mint chocolate (*divided)

Instructions
 

To roll out the pie dough

  • Place the pie dough on to a well floured surface and press it down into a flat circle.
  • Add flour to the top of the dough and your rolling pin, then roll the pie dough out, flipping it a few times throughout the process and re-flouring.
  • Roll the dough into a round circle that will cover your 9-inch pie pan.
  • Gently lift the pie dough on to the pie pan and press it down lightly, trimming and crimping the edges as desired.
  • Place the pie pan in the freezer while you make your brownie filling.

To make the peppermint brownie filling

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium-large mixing bowl, add melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whisk together (or using a hand mixer) until combined.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Add the cocoa powder and mix (carefully) until well combined. This part can be messy!
  • Add the flour and mix until fully combined.
  • Fold in ¾ cup of the peppermint baking chips. Reserve the rest for topping.

To assemble the peppermint brownie pie

  • Remove the pie crust from the freezer and pour the brownie batter into the pie pan. Gently smooth it out until it is evenly covering the pan.
  • Sprinkle the reserved peppermint chips over the top of the brownie, then place it in the oven.
  • After 15-20 minutes of baking, I highly recommend covering your pie crust with aluminum foil or a pie crust cover to protect it from burning. The crust will bake before the brownie is done.
  • Bake for a total of 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick pricked in the center of the brownie comes out clean.
  • Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool, then store it covered at room temperature.
