No-Bake Peppermint Cheesecake Recipe

Christmas is not the same without peppermint candy. This no-bake dessert is festive, delicious and easy to make. Everything is perfect about this cheesecake, starting with Oreo cookie crust, then creamy peppermint cheesecake filling with crushed peppermint candies and topped with chocolate filling and crushed peppermint candies.

I really like this recipe because I can make it a few days earlier especially when I am busy with making other surprises for the holidays. Now, when your holiday preparations are over I can wish you to spend holidays in peace and harmony with your family and friends. Enjoy!
