No Bake Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecakes
Here was my lunch for the day, lucky me :). I don’t eat like that often but when it’s something like this there’s just no way I can resist. Cheesecake is like my ultimate weakness (okay that and chocolate and salted caramel. Oh, and cheese and pizza. Ok my weaknesses are endless but you get the point). But these cheesecakes you simply have to try! Basically your holidays will be like 10 times better if you serve up these decadent, easy to make cheesecakes :).
Holidays for me are all about the food and this one is definitely something worthy of serving on Christmas day or at any holiday party. You will love how easy these are to prepare. They require no baking at all, just a good chilling in the refrigerator to get that silky smoothy and dreamy texture.
Everyone is going to go nuts over these! I was telling my mom I was making these today and telling her what was in them, and we were both saying “there’s just no way you can go wrong”. Oreos, cream, cream cheese, white chocolate, sugar and peppermint flavor – see what I mean? Not the healthiest of things by any means but hey, this is the holidays! We go all in… and we also get our stretchy pants out (aren’t leggings just the best? The only thing that was every right about the 80’s).
Enjoy!
