This peppermint cheesecake is stacked with layers and layers of chocolate-peppermint goodness, from the homemade Oreo crust to the peppermint candy-spiked cheesecake batter to the luscious whipped cream cheese topping.

If cold eggs hit softened cream cheese, the cream cheese will seize up and create lumps in the batter. The lumps will make you want to over-beat the batter back to a smooth consistency, but at that point you\u2019ll have added way too much air into the batter, causing the cheesecake to rise, deflate and crack in the oven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Andes candies:<\/strong> Andes baking chips or candies add a lovely layer of mint-chocolate flavor in this peppermint cheesecake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whipped topping:<\/strong> Whipped topping, such as Cool Whip, fluffs up the cheesecake\u2019s topping for an ultra-light finishing layer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the springform pan<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. Place a greased 9-inch springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about an 18-inch square. Securely wrap the foil around the outer perimeter of the pan. This foil barrier will keep the hot water bath from seeping into the springform pan during <span class=\"ui-provider ed btm bcr ccr ccs cct ccu ccv ccw ccx ccy ccz cda cdb cdc cdd cde cdf cdg cdh cdi cdj cdk cdl cdm cdn cdo cdp cdq cdr cds cdt cdu cdv cdw\" dir=\"ltr\">baking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Create the crust<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1937071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Peppermint-Cheesecake_FT23_92933_ST_1018_1.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Putting cookie crumble on pan\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet, and bake until the crust is set, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool the crust to room temperature on a wire rack. Do not turn off the oven.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Make the cheesecake batter<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1937072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Peppermint-Cheesecake_FT23_92933_ST_1018_2.gif?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Whisking cream cheese, sugar and eggs\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and lump-free. Beat in the sour cream, flour and extracts. Add the eggs, and beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in chips with a spatula.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Take the time to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl before adding the eggs to make sure everything is incorporated. Once the eggs are added, you\u2019ll want to do as little mixing as possible to avoid a cracked cheesecake.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Assemble the hot water bath<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1937073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Peppermint-Cheesecake_FT23_92933_ST_1018_6.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Putting batter on pan\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust. (The springform pan will be full.) Place the springform pan in a large baking pan. Pour 1 inch of hot water into the large baking pan.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Bake the cheesecake at 325\u00b0 until the center is just set and the top appears dull, 1-1\/4 to 1-1\/2 hours. It may be tempting, but don&#8217;t open the oven door during baking!<\/p>\n<p>Remove the springform pan from the water bath. Cool the cheesecake at room temperature on a wire rack for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> How do you know when a cheesecake is done? Try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-test\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-test\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cheesecake wobble test<\/a>. Open the oven door and, with a wooden spoon, gently but firmly rap the side of the cheesecake pan. You\u2019re looking for a slight wobble, not an undercooked rippled jiggle.

Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for one hour longer. Wrap the cheesecake (that\u2019s still in the springform pan) in a layer of storage wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Remove the storage wrap, and the rim of the springform pan.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Whip up the topping<\/h3>\n<p>In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat one-fourth of the whipped topping into the mixture just until combined. Fold in the remaining whipped topping with a rubber spatula.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8: Decorate the cheesecake<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1937076\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Peppermint-Cheesecake_FT23_92933_ST_1018_9.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Peppermint Cheesecake \" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Spread or pipe the whipped topping onto the cheesecake. Garnish the cheesecake with crushed candy canes and shaved chocolate if desired.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> To make clean cuts when serving your cheesecake, grab a sharp chef\u2019s knife, and run it under hot water. Carefully wipe away the excess water with a clean kitchen towel, and make your first cut. Repeat these steps until you\u2019re finished cutting and serving. It may feel tedious, but your slices will look picture-perfect.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use a different crust:<\/strong> While we absolutely love the Oreo crust in this peppermint cheesecake recipe, there are tons of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crumb-crust-ingredients\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">crumb crust ingredients<\/a> to try out, such as Nilla wafers, chocolate wafer cookies and shortbread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a few drops of food coloring:<\/strong> Drive home the peppermint\/candy cane look by adding a few drops of red gel food coloring to the whipped topping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Peppermint Cheesecake<\/h2>\n<p>To store peppermint cheesecake, keep it in the springform pan with the ring on, and wrap the pan loosely with storage wrap. You can also cut the cheesecake into slices and store them in an airtight container. Peppermint cheesecake can last up to five days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<p>We do not recommend freezing the peppermint cheesecake with the whipped topping as the topping would not freeze well. To freeze the cheesecake without the whipped topping, wrap the cheesecake with a few layers of storage wrap and a final layer of aluminum foil. Store it in the freezer for up to one month.<\/p>\n<p>To thaw the cheesecake from frozen, set it out at room temperature for one hour, or move the cheesecake to the refrigerator, and let it thaw for eight hours or overnight. Decorate with the whipped topping, candy and chocolate garnishes.<\/p>\n<h2>Peppermint Cheesecake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1937077\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Peppermint-Cheesecake_FT23_92933_ST_1018_10.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Peppermint Cheesecake slices on plates\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can I prevent my cheesecake from cracking?<\/h3>\n<p>To prevent your cheesecake from cracking, a water bath is your best friend, so don\u2019t skip that step in this recipe. Besides that, using room-temperature ingredients (especially the eggs and cream cheese) will emulsify better in the batter so you don\u2019t have to overmix.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, avoid overmixing when the eggs are added to the filling. Overmixing adds too much air into the cheesecake. This will puff up and deflate the filling when it\u2019s baked, causing the cheesecake to crack.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I crush candy canes?<\/h3>\n<p>To crush candy canes, dump the unwrapped candies into a resealable bag. Seal the bag, then place it on a stable work surface (lay down a kitchen towel underneath to protect the countertops). Gently crush with a hammer or rolling pin or the smooth side of a meat mallet until they\u2019re broken into small pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to bring an impressive dessert into the room at your next holiday party?
