This is one of my go to recipes at Christmas time. It is so easy and quick to throw together and yet it tastes AMAZING!! I love that I can make it ahead of time and have it in the freezer ready to go when I need a quick dessert. It looks so festive too! I use a store-bought crust but of course you could make you own as well. Whatever works for you and the time you have available. Enjoy!!
Candy Cane Cheesecake
Ingredients:
2 pkgs 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 graham crust
25 Hershey Candy Cane Kisses
Tip: Sprinkling cinnamon on a store bought crust, makes it taste more like homemade :)
Directions:
Beat together softened cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to beat until pretty smooth (a few lumps are okay).
Remove wrap from the candy kisses and melt in the microwave for about 1 minute. Give a quick stir at the half way point.
Mix together batter and melted kisses and pour into prepared crust (don’t forget to sprinkle some cinnamon on your crust!)
Bake on 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until center is firm.
Let cool and freeze. Best served thawed with a dollop of whip cream!
Enjoy the deliciousness :)
What a great recipe for the holidays! Thanks for sharing!
My jaw just dropped…that looks SO yummy!!!
Looks delicious! Might try to find the mini graham cracker crusts so we can pull them out of the freezer and eat as desired ;)
Oh my I’ve never seen mini graham cracker crusts here in Canada, that sounds awesome!
Just printed that one, can’t wait to make it! Thanks!
Ive read several excellent stuff here. Certainly value bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot effort you put to create this kind of magnificent informative site.
Making now! How long can I keep it frozen? Considering saving it for a party a week from today. Thanks!!
Oh they will last awhile in the freezer, I’d say even a couple of months :)
This is a great recipe and the second year I have made it. I like to use an Oreo cookie crust (chocolate crumbs) although they can be harder to find. This year I believe I found it at Target.
What size graham cracker crust do you use
Hmmm that’s a good question Carolyn. Here in Canada our crusts only come in one size. I don’t have any on hand to check but I want to say it’s a 9 inch. If I find out different I will let you know.
