You could swap in chocolate graham crackers for a slightly less intense flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Melted butter adds richness and helps bind the cookie crumbs to form the crust. Coconut oil can be used for a slightly different taste and aroma.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-cream-cheese\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-soften-cream-cheese\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Softened cream cheese<\/a> is the key to the rich and creamy layer that complements the sweetness of the peppermint. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ingredients\/cheese\/mascarpone-cheese\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ingredients\/cheese\/mascarpone-cheese\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Mascarpone<\/a> can be substituted for an even creamier texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> A bit of sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness to the cream cheese layer. Honey could be used instead for a slight floral note.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> The 2% milk helps smooth out the cream cheese filling, making it creamy and spreadable. Whole milk would work if you prefer a richer flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frozen whipped topping:<\/strong> The whipped topping adds a light and airy texture to the cheesecake layer and to the final topping. You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweetened-whipped-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade whipped cream<\/a> for a fresher taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crushed candy canes:<\/strong> Candy cane bits bring festive peppermint flavor and a bit of crunch. If you have crushed peppermint candies on hand, you can also use those.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instant white chocolate pudding mix:<\/strong> The pudding layer brings a sweet and creamy balance to the dessert. Vanilla pudding mix is a good alternative if you prefer a milder flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cold milk: <\/strong>The key to a great boxed pudding is adding cold milk, which gives the dessert a luscious and creamy consistency. Skim milk will work too, but it will produce a lighter texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the crust<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2077553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Candy-Cane-Dessert_TOHD24_189433_DianaRattray_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Oreo cookie crumbs form the crust for this layered candy cand dessert.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Rattray for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
