Make this show-stopping Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cheesecake for your holiday gathering. This recipe combines a creamy cheesecake filling with chopped nostalgic snack cakes, creating a festive centerpiece dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 180 g graham cracker crumbs
  • 85 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 675 g cream cheese, softened
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 1 package Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, chopped
  • White ganache or whipped cream for topping
  • Holiday sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until fully combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes into the cream cheese mixture. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  7. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for one hour. This prevents cracking.
  8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Then, chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Before serving, top the chilled cheesecake with white ganache or piped whipped cream to resemble tree branches, and finish with holiday sprinkles.

Notes

  • For a truly show-stopping holiday dessert, consider shaping the cheesecake in a tree-shaped pan or cutting the chilled round cheesecake into a tree shape before decorating.
  • If you prefer a no-bake version, chill the filling mixture for at least 8 hours until firm, omitting the baking steps.
  • Use cream cheese that is fully softened to avoid lumps in your creamy cheesecake filling.
