Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 24 cookies Mint Oreo Cookies Crushed
  • 5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Melted
Filling
  • 24 ounces Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
  • 3 Large Eggs Added one at a time
Topping
  • 1 cup Butter Softened
  • 4 cups Confectioners' Sugar
  • 1 cup Mini Candy Canes For decoration
  • 1 cup Peppermint Candies For decoration
  • Holiday Sprinkles For decoration

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

Prepare Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Mint Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter, stirring until all crumbs are evenly coated. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
Make Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, peppermint extract, and pure vanilla extract together until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until incorporated.
Add Toppings
  1. Gently fold in a handful of holiday sprinkles. Pour the filling over the cooled Oreo crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake
  1. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour.
Chill
  1. Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap.
Prepare Buttercream
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter until fluffy and pale, about 3 minutes. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Frost & Decorate
  1. Spread the buttercream frosting over the chilled cheesecake, using a spatula. Adorn the cheesecake with mini candy canes, peppermint candies, and holiday sprinkles.
Serve
  1. Once decorated, slice the cheesecake into wedges and serve it chilled.
