Peppermint Dessert

Ahh, The holidays. And what, you may ask, is Christmas without Peppermint Dessert? Well, at my house it isn't Christmas at all. It's just December. A lovely month wherein gifts are exchanged, parties are thown and houses are decorated: activities that are merely December chores without Peppermint Dessert. Make this delightful sweet and watch the mundane become extraordinary. Dreadful chores become a delightful walk in a wintry Wonderland.  Choirs sing heavenly praises.  And, yes, December becomes Christmas. This magical dessert is your ticket to Christmas bliss. With four ingredients it’s also really easy to prepare.

Peppermint Dessert
2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
1 pint stiffly beaten whipping cream
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup crushed candy canes

Crush Oreo cookies and put all but 1/2 cup in the bottom of a 9x13 dish.  Pour whipping cream into a mixing bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until cream forms stiff peaks.  Stir in marshmallows and crushed candy canes.  Spread mixture on top of Oreo crumbs.  Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top.  Cover with foil and freeze for at least 1 hour.  Remove from freezer 20 minutes prior to serving.  Enjoy!
