No Bake Candy Cane Cheesecake is a festive, creamy dessert that combines the rich, velvety texture of cheesecake with the refreshing, minty flavor of candy canes. It’s the perfect no-bake treat for the holiday season.

Ingredients

  1. For the crust:
  2. 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  3. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  5. For the filling:
  6. 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  7. 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1/4 cup sour cream
  10. 1 cup heavy cream
  11. 1/2 cup crushed candy canes (plus extra for topping)
  12. For the topping (optional):
  13. Whipped cream
  14. Extra crushed candy canes
  15. Mini candy canes (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  1. Prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add sour cream and mix. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in crushed candy canes until evenly distributed.
  2. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling onto the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  3. Top and serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream, extra crushed candy canes, and mini candy canes for garnish. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  1. For a richer flavor, substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust.
  2. If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the filling.
  3. For a firmer crust, be sure to press it down firmly and chill it before adding the filling.
