For the past few years I just cannot get enough of the Andes Peppermint Crunch Chips…and this year I am STILL completely hooked on them.

I mean can you tell what my favorite thing to bake with is right now?  Just take a look at these Oreo Peppermint Crunch Cookies, these Peppermint Chip Brownies, and these Peppermint Mocha Cookie Dough Truffle Bars, and tell me what the common theme is.

If you guessed a certain peppermint chip, you win the prize!  Ding ding ding!    

This dessert was one that I made a couple years ago for a dinner we had at church.  Honestly, this simple little no bake cheesecake got more comments and compliments than anything else I had made, so I couldn’t wait to share this recipe.

But, I didn’t take pictures of the first no bake cheesecake, so I had to wait until I could make another one and do some pictures.  

Hooray for a teen progressive dinner because I made another Peppermint Oreo Cheesecake and sent it out the door.  Teens don’t mind that you send cheesecake that has been hacked into for picture purposes.  

At least that’s what I’m telling myself.

This peppermint cheesecake is so easy to make. It should only take you about 15 minutes from start to finish.  It will need a little bit of time in the fridge to set up though.

Supplies needed to make a Peppermint Oreo Cheesecake:

• Oreo cookies
• butter
• cream cheese
• sugar
• Andes Mint Crunch Chips
• Cool Whip
• food processor
• 9×13 pan
• spatula

How to make a Peppermint Oreo Cheesecake:

Break the cookies in half and place them in the food processor. Leave the filling in the cookies!!! I like to use a Ninja Food Processor for this part. The machine does all the work for you in seconds.  

Add melted butter and press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 pan.

Beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and extracts together until creamy.

Place the peppermint chips and a little bit of shortening in a microwave safe bowl.  The shortening helps to thin the chocolate out a little.  It also keeps the chocolate from seizing when you melt it down.  Heat for 30 seconds and stir. Heat another 15-20 seconds and stir until melted and creamy.

Pour the melted chocolate immediately into the cream cheese mixture and beat in. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to get all the chocolate mixed in.

Fold in an 8 ounce container of thawed Cool Whip gently and then spread the mixture on the prepared crust.

Cover the cheesecake with more Cool Whip and sprinkle peppermint chips on the top.  Place it in the refrigerator for a little while to set up.
