- In a medium heat-proof bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric hand mixer until combined.

I loved this pie, but I did not use any peppermint extract, and I made a homemade braided crust. My family loved it, too! I made it for Thanksgiving.

I loved this recipe, but the recipe was kind of confusing. There was no step that said you needed to whip the cream, and if you need sugar. I did not use sugar, I just whipped the heavy cream. It also said that there was 4 tablespoons of butter in the recipe, but a half cup of butter in the video. Personally, the half cup of butter worked for me. Yummy!
