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)

Equipment

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

Method
 

To roll out the pie dough
  1. Place the pie dough on to a well floured surface and press it down into a flat circle.
  2. 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.
  3. Roll the dough into a round circle that will cover your 9-inch pie pan.
  4. Gently lift the pie dough on to the pie pan and press it down lightly, trimming and crimping the edges as desired.
  5. Place the pie pan in the freezer while you make your brownie filling.
To make the peppermint brownie filling
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium-large mixing bowl, add melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whisk together (or using a hand mixer) until combined.
  3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Mix until combined.
  4. Add the cocoa powder and mix (carefully) until well combined. This part can be messy!
  5. Add the flour and mix until fully combined.
  6. Fold in ¾ cup of the peppermint baking chips. Reserve the rest for topping.
To assemble the peppermint brownie pie
  1. 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.
  2. Sprinkle the reserved peppermint chips over the top of the brownie, then place it in the oven.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake for a total of 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick pricked in the center of the brownie comes out clean.
  5. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool, then store it covered at room temperature.
