Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 3 packs cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 7 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, chopped

For the Ganache:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream

For Decoration:

  • Green sprinkles
  • Red buttercream frosting

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass for a smooth crust.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the heavy cream and eggs, mixing until just combined.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes to distribute them evenly.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
  2. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  3. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4: Prepare the Ganache

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until warm (don’t let it boil).
  2. Remove from heat, add the white chocolate chips, and stir until smooth.
  3. Drizzle the ganache over the cheesecake, covering it evenly.

Step 5: Decorate and Chill

  1. Sprinkle green sprinkles over the ganache.
  2. Pipe small dots or designs using red buttercream frosting for a festive touch.
  3. Chill the cheesecake until fully set, preferably overnight.

Step 6: Serve

Slice, serve, and watch your guests’ faces light up with joy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: To avoid lumps, ensure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
  • No Springform Pan?: Use a deep dish pie pan as an alternative, but make sure to line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Ganache Consistency: If the ganache is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm cream at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Holiday Creativity: Feel free to add your favorite holiday sprinkles or edible glitter for an extra festive touch.
