For the crust:

1 1/2 cups of crushed candy canes
1/4 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of melted butter

For the white chocolate filling:

1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips

1/4 cup of heavy cream
1 package of cream cheese (8 oz.), softened

For the peppermint filling:

1 package of instant vanilla pudding (3.4 oz.)

For the topping:

2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
Crushed candy canes

Step by Step Instructions To Make Bakers Square Candy Cane Pie

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, mix the crushed candy canes, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure it is evenly distributed.

Bake the crust for 10 minutes and then let it cool completely.

In a medium-sized bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips and heavy cream together for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave in additional 15-second increments until the white chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and then add the melted white chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.

Spread the white chocolate filling evenly over the cooled candy cane crust and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 10-15 minutes.

In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, peppermint extract, and red food coloring (if desired) until smooth.

Pour the peppermint filling over the white chocolate filling and spread it evenly. Place the pie back in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until set.

Once the pie is chilled and set, it’s time to make the topping. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the top of the peppermint filling and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.

Serve and enjoy!

Bakers Square Candy Cane Pie Faq’s

Can I use a pre-made pie crust instead of making my own?

Absolutely! A pre-made crust will work just fine for this recipe.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for the filling?

While it won’t be the classic Bakers Square Candy Cane Pie flavor, you can certainly substitute dark chocolate for white chocolate if you prefer.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Bakers Square Candy Cane Pie Variations

The classic Bakers Square Candy Cane Pie is delicious, but there are some of my variations you can try to personalize it.

Some ideas:

Chocolate crust: A chocolate crust makes a richer treat than a candy cane crust.

Mint chocolate: Add chocolate ganache between the white chocolate and peppermint layers for a twist. The mint chocolate flavor will be wonderful.

Oreo crust: Use crushed Oreos instead of sugar cane if you like them. The pie will taste chocolaty.

Add peanut butter for a novel twist. Before adding the peppermint layer, apply creamy peanut butter mixed with powdered sugar over the white chocolate layer.

Mini pies: Make mini pies in tart pans for a party. This will look nice and give guests their treat.

How To Store Bakers Square Candy Cane Pie?

Storing the Bakers Square Candy Cane Pie is fairly simple, but it’s important to do it properly to ensure that it stays fresh and delicious.

The best way to preserve the quality of the pie is to put it in the fridge. To keep it from drying out or absorbing odors from other foods, wrap it firmly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container.

The pie is best served cold, so remove it from the fridge about 15 to 20 minutes before serving so that it can reach room temperature.

The pie can be made ahead of time and frozen if there will be extras. Freezing is best accomplished by first wrapping it in plastic wrap and then transferring it to an airtight receptacle. Just put it in the fridge the night before you plan to serve it to defrost it.

To avoid the whipped cream or other toppings from melting or becoming soggy while in the fridge, keep them in separate containers and only add them right before serving.
