First, put the heavy cream into a large bowl and whip until it forms stiff peaks, and set aside. Put your Oreo crust into the pie plate as well, setting aside.

Cream the cream cheese and powdered sugar until fully combined. Add in vanilla and the red food coloring to the bowl and mix together.

Add in the peppermint candy bits. Then, combine ingredients by adding the cream cheese/powdered sugar mixture into the bowl with the heavy whipping cream. Mix together on low speed until fully mixed.

Pour filling into crust, then top with Cool Whip. Add a layer of crushed peppermint as a garnish.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and store in fridge until ready to serve.
