This Christmas candy cane cheesecake by Recipes by Carina on YouTube is a no-bake recipe that’s perfect for the holiday season. It’s a simple and easy recipe to follow along with that does not require an oven. I love peppermint flavored things especially during Christmas time, so it would be a nice festive dessert to make. The crushed candy canes on top look amazing, and I like how it’s made out of homemade ingredients. The peppermint swirls in the cheesecake are simply amazing. Also, I think it would be unique to use the green peppermint and combine it with the red peppermint for a combination of Christmas colors. I’m not a big cheesecake fan, but they’re so quick to make and popular during the holidays.
Ingredients:
- 9 oz Digestive Biscuits or Graham Crackers, crushed
- 1/2 Cup, 1 Stick Butter, melted
- 2 Cups Cream
- 9 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Icing Sugar or Powdered Sugar
- 1-2 tsp Peppermint Essence
- 5 Candy Canes
- Whipping Cream to serve
Directions:
First, in a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter. Pour the mixture into a lined 8-inch cake tin and use the back of a spoon to compact evenly to form the cheesecake base. Place in the fridge to set.

Next, whip the cream until soft peak form using a hand mixer or whisk, and set aside. Combine cream cheese, sugar, and peppermint essence in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Continue to watch Recipes by Carina tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.
Overall, I love the look of the cheesecake, and it’s a great way to use the candy canes that you might have around the house during the holidays. This can be made the day on Christmas Eve or even with all of the leftover candy canes.
