Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake

Author Maggie @ The Love Nerds

Ingredients

  • 40 OREO cookies crushed (for an even stronger peppermint flavor, use Peppermint Creme OREOs
  • 10 tbsp butter melted
  • Note: to make this REALLY easy buy the OREO crusts in the pie tins at the grocery store. For the work party I did this so I didn't have to worry about bringing home a pie plate. You'll need two crusts for this recipe.
  • 1 pt. heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 can 12 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup crushed candy canes about 16 candy canes
  • peppermint crunch chocolate candies for topping

Instructions

  1. To make the crusts, crush the cookies in a zipped bag or using a food processor. You don't need to remove the creme filling.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly coated. Press in two 9 inch pie plates, making sure to get the crust up the sides as well. Place in refrigerator until ready to fill.
  3. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, mix the cream cheese, condensed milk and crushed candy canes until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
  5. Pour the filling into the two pie crusts and freeze until solid (at least 4 hours) .
  6. When ready to serve, remove from freezer, sprinkle with chopped peppermint crunch chocolates and serve immediately.
