Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
1/4 cup festive red and green sprinkles
Instructions
1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until it resembles wet sand.
2. Press the mixture into the bottom of cupcake liners placed in a muffin pan. Chill for 15–30 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Spoon the filling onto the chilled crusts and smooth the tops.
6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until fully set.
7. Before serving, top with whipped cream, crushed peppermint, and sprinkles.
Notes
Always chill the cheesecakes at least 3 hours or until firm for clean removal and best texture.
For a stronger peppermint kick, mix a bit of crushed candy directly into the filling.
