Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray.
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until you have about 1 ½ cups of fine crumbs. Mix in the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan to form an even crust, then bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.
Cheesecake Filling
- In your stand mixer, cream the softened cream cheese on high until light and fluffy.
- Add the granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined and smooth.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and mix on low until combined, then increase the speed to high for about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
Assembly
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the baked crust, smoothing it out with an offset spatula.
- Arrange the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes in a circle on top of the batter, gently pressing them in.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the cakes, smoothing the top again.
Baking
- Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C) and bake for an additional 50-53 minutes until the edges are set, and the center slightly jiggles.
- Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open for about 15 minutes.
- Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then refrigerate overnight.
Topping
- For the topping, heat the ⅓ cup heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until hot but not boiling. Pour it over the white chocolate and let it sit for 3 minutes before whisking until smooth.
- Pour the white chocolate glaze over the chilled cheesecake and smooth it. Use green sprinkles to decorate, and pipe red buttercream frosting over the top for extra flair.
