The No Bake Peppermint Oreo Cheesecake is a festive and creamy dessert perfect for the holiday season. It starts with a decadent crust made from an entire package of classic Oreos, crushed and combined with melted unsalted butter for the perfect base. The filling is a dreamy blend of softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream whipped to perfection, creating a smooth and luscious texture.
For that iconic peppermint twist, crushed candy canes and a hint of peppermint extract are folded into the mixture, alongside a splash of vanilla for added depth. A few drops of red food coloring give the cheesecake a festive swirl of holiday cheer. The filling is then lightened with a fluffy layer of Cool Whip, making each bite irresistibly airy.
Topped with more crushed candy canes for a pop of crunch and peppermint flavor, this no-bake treat is as stunning as it is delicious. It’s a holiday showstopper that’s easy to make and sure to impress!
The recipe can be found here, and this is how you make it:
Start by adding the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. You can do this in the food processor or a separate bowl. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press into an even layer and up the sides to create a pie crust. Place in the fridge while you work on the filling.
Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl of a stand mixer and whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
You want to use a separate bowl for this next step or transfer the whipped cream out of the stand mixer bowl, if you only have one stand mixer bowl, because you need the stand mixer. Add the powdered sugar and cream cheese to the bowl and beat until well combined. Add about 10 drops of food coloring, the vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, and beat until well combined.
Add the candy canes to a Ziploc bag and crush with a hammer or meat mallet or use a food processor to crush the candy canes. Add about ½ cup into the bowl of the stand mixer and mix to combine.
Add the whipped cream you made previously and mix on the lowest speed until well combined. Pour this mixture into the pie crust and spread in an even layer.
Add the Cool Whip on top and spread in an even layer. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until ready to serve (this can be overnight). Right before you are ready to serve, sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes over the top.
The reason you want to wait, the candy cane coloring will start to bleed in the fridge and turn the top of your cheesecake a lovely pink color. Trust me, I speak from experience.
When ready, slice, serve, and enjoy!

The No Bake Andes Peppermint Crunch Cheesecake is a rich and festive dessert bursting with peppermint flavor and creamy indulgence. It begins with a classic Oreo crust made by combining crushed Oreos with melted unsalted butter, creating a perfectly crunchy base for the cheesecake.
The filling is a smooth blend of softened cream cheese, a touch of sugar for sweetness, and the perfect balance of vanilla and peppermint extracts to enhance the holiday flavor. Melted Andes Peppermint Crunch Thins are folded into the mixture, adding delightful hints of minty chocolate in every bite.
For an extra indulgent finish, a layer of Cool Whip is spread over the top. A final garnish of additional peppermint candies or Andes pieces makes this cheesecake a festive centerpiece for any holiday gathering. Easy to prepare and packed with flavor, this no-bake delight is a true crowd-pleaser!
The recipe can be found here, and this is how you make it:
Start by adding the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. You can do this in the food processor or a separate bowl. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 baking dish and press into an even layer, covering the entire bottom. Refrigerate while making the filling.
Add the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until well combined.
Unwrap one package of the Andes Peppermints and add to a microwave safe bowl. Add the shortening and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Add to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined.
Add one container of Cool Whip and mix on low until well combined. Pour over the Oreo crust and spread in an even layer.
Spread the other container of Cool Whip evenly over the top.
Unwrap the remaining package of Andes Peppermints and roughly chops. Sprinkle over the top of the cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
When ready, slice, serve, and enjoy!
