Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 4 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (vanilla or chocolate), roughly chopped
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, chopped
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional)
Toppings
- Extra Christmas Tree Cakes, sliced or crumbled
- Additional whipped cream
- More holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Roughly chop 4 Christmas Tree Cakes and press them into the bottom of the pan, gently flattening to create a soft, even base layer.
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined and smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it’s fully aerated and fluffy.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, ensuring not to deflate it.
- Add Cake and Sprinkles: Fold in the chopped remaining 2 Christmas Tree Cakes and optional holiday sprinkles to the cheesecake filling evenly.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared cake base in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight until it firms up properly.
- Serve: Before serving, top the cheesecake with additional whipped cream, extra Christmas Tree Cakes cut into slices or crumbled, and more holiday sprinkles for decoration.
Notes
- For easier slicing, freeze the cheesecake for 30 minutes before serving.
- Use chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes for a richer flavor variation.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
