No-Bake Peppermint Cheesecake is so easy to make. With a no-bake Oreo cookie crust they are a perfect combo. Whether you are having a family get together or going to a potluck, this is the perfect holiday dessert.
Last year during the Holidays I made and shared Frozen Peppermint Pie With Oreo Crust. It was a huge hit . Therefore, I thought Id stick with the flavor pairing of the peppermint and Oreos. Who doesn't love cheesecake? Did you try my The Best No -Bake Cherry Cheesecake? If you are watching carbs, give my Low Carb -Keto Instant Pot Cheesecake recipe a try. It is great.
I highly recommend full fat as it sets better and gives the cheesecake a richer flavor.
Store in refrigerator wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil , or air tight container. It should keep 4-5 days if wrapped well. Cheesecake will keep in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Sure use the crust of your choice. However, the pairing of Oreos and peppermint is perfect.
