Creamy Christmas Cheesecake is a fun and festive dessert for the Holidays. Its red, white and green striped filling is sure to spread your Christmas cheer!Christmas Cheesecake (single-piece)

Christmas Cheesecake

Moreover, Christmas is my favorite time of the year. In fact, I love everything about it ! And I’m so excited like a kid. Actually,  I can’t wait December to start so I could pull out the Christmas tree and decorate my home. And let me tell you something, but in the confidence…shhhh!  Maybe you should call me crazy, but I’ve already started to buy Christmas gifts.

However, as you can see after my two last posts, I’m carried away with developing Christmas recipes. To tell the truth, I have two brand new Christmas dessert recipes for upcoming holiday already. So, you may want to check my Cranberry Pistachio Lasagna, too.  And maybe some of my older Christmas recipes: Red Velvet Truffles, Christmas Maraschino Cherry Shortbread Cookies, Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Truffles … But these two was the biggest hit on my blog ever: Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake and Christmas Lasagna.

So let’s get back to today’s Christmas Cheesecake. It’s perfect choice for Christmas dessert. It looks so fun and cute, but fancy, too. Also, red, white and green colors are traditionally associated with Christmas. And that’s the reason why I called this cheesecake “Christmas Cheesecakes”. Above all, this cake with it’s red, white and green striped filling simply scream Christmas!

And when it’s about the taste, this Christmas Cheesecake is also very delicious, smooth and creamy, too. Moreover, I suggest you to use peppermint extract and make it in mint flavored, just like peppermint candy canes. But if you don’t like mint, feel free to use vanilla extract. That will taste great, too.

Description

Creamy Christmas Cheesecake is a fun and festive dessert for the Holidays. Its red, white and green striped filling is sure to spread your Christmas cheer!


Ingredients

For Oreo Crust:

  • 24 Oreo cookies (whole with the filling)
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter

For Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 32 oz. cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla or peppermint extract
  • 4 eggs slightly beaten
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Red and green food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 F. Grease deep 9 inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Then wrap the springform pan in 2 layers of aluminum foil to make sure no water leaks in when you place it in water bath later.
  2. To make the crust:
  3. Pulse whole Oreo cookies with the filling in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of springform pan. Place in the freezer to firm while making the filling.
  4. To make the filling:
  5. Fist, mix softened cream cheese, sugar and peppermint (or vanilla) extract just to combine. Then, add slightly beaten eggs and mix on low speed just to combine, do not overmix it. Fold in sour cream, too.
  6. Now, reserve half of the batter in white color. And remaining half of the batter divide in 2 small bowls and add red food coloring in one bowl and green food coloring in the other bowl. The batter should be pourable but not too runny.
  7. To make the striped effect, you will pour the batter in small amounts in the center of the crust. Start with white batter and continue alternately with green, white, red, white, green, white, red, white…until you use all batters. In case your batter is a bit thicker than it should and won’t push down and spread out previous layer, gently shake the pan to cause the spreading. As you layering the batter it should spread and make concentric circles.
  8. Now, gently transfer springform pan in large roasting pan. Pour hot water in roasting pan to fill it halfway through. Place in the oven and bake 90-110 minutes until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour, then lift springform pan from water bath and place it on the counter to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Remove the foil, then remove the ring from springform pan. Run a thin metal spatula under the crust to remove it from the bottom and transfer the cheesecake onto a serving plate.
  10. Store in the fridge.

The instructions sound like it would make layers rather than the concentric rings pictured. Something is off.

I like the idea of using the peppermint extract. That looks like it would give the cheesecake that perfect Christmas flavor.

Can you use Splenda to make a sugar free version? Another question when I bake cheesecake I always have a brown crust on top, I have never done the water bath is that the difference?

Reply
Vera Zecevic October 20, 2017 - 7:51 pm

Hi Sherlyn, I never use Splenda so I can’t help you with that. you should use water bath and if you notice that the top start browning tent with aluminum foil and do not overbake.

There should’ve been more precise instructions to get the ring effect. Sounds like no one got the ring affect.
Cheesecake may be delicious, but the instructions on how to make it look so pleasing was very poorly described. I did not make the cheesecake

Just finished making this following the directions given and it came out GREAT!! My rings are slightly offset but what a fun idea for a festive dessert!! Having a late Christmas party via zoom with colleagues, am dropping this off for my boss and her family to enjoy. Thanks for sharing your cleaver creation!
Best,
