Storage

This Vegan Peppermint Pie should be chilled immediately. If the filling is not refrigerated, it may get runny. Store in the pie tin or plate in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Serve chilled!

Note: Do not leave it at room temperature for any length of time. This is a pie that you want to take directly from the fridge to the plate and then back again. 

Tips For Making the Perfect Vegan Peppermint Pie

• Warming your knife blade with hot water and cleaning it between cuts can help you cut a beautiful slice every time.
• Never heat this vegan peppermint cream pie because the filling and whipped cream will not hold up to the high temperatures. This kind of pie is best served cold!

Substitutions and Variations

• Cookie Crust: You can use crushed graham crackers or Oreo for the cookie crust.
• Dark Chocolate: Instead of white chocolate, you can use dark chocolate for the filling. Peppermint and dark chocolate taste really good together too.
• Toppings: For the toppings, you can also use chocolate shavings, crushed almonds or walnuts, and whipped cream.

What To Serve/Pair With Your Vegan Peppermint pie Recipe

• Contrast: Vegan Peppermint Pie is best served chilled, with a cup of hot coffee on the side. The contrast of hot and cold creates an incredible combination. For kids, a glass of warm milk works well with this pie.
• Hotter Days: If you live in a hotter region, try this Vegan Peppermint Pie with an iced coffee, milkshake, or frappe. On a hot sunny day, the combo will undoubtedly energize and cool you down.
