Ingredients Needed:
Crust: our two-ingredient crust is made up of melted butter and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. White Chocolate Chips: melted with heavy whipping cream to create the base for the cheesecake filling. Heavy Whipping Cream: make sure you use heavy whipping cream, not a lighter cream, for the creamiest texture. Cream Cheese: get full-fat cream cheese blocks for the perfect cheesecake texture. Powdered Sugar: sweetens and stabilizes the filling. Vanilla: adds flavor depth. Mint Extract: gives the cheesecake its peppermint flavor. Peppermint Bark: we’re using crushed peppermint bark in the filling to add texture and extra peppermint flavor. Garnishes: heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, crushed candy canes

Tips and Notes
Use a springform pan. A springform pan is the key to removing the cheesecake without damaging it. I like to pinch a piece of parchment between the bottom and the sides so I can easily lift the cheesecake out after. Use full-fat cream cheese blocks. Other varieties of cream cheese won’t yield nearly the same creamy texture. Chill fully. The cheesecake needs a minimum of 8 hours in the fridge to set up properly. Give it time! No Oreos? Swap them out for 2 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies and ½ cup melted butter.
