Want to know how to make a cheesecake taste even more rich? Add white chocolate to your batter! Inspired by the Starbucks White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha drink, I decided to turn the house favorite Oreo Cheesecake into the perfect holiday treat for our dinner guests this past weekend.
I followed the white chocolate and raspberry swirl cheesecake recipe from Junior's Cheesecake Cookbook but eliminated the raspberry swirl for 8 chopped Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe-Joes. Also, the crust was made with the chocolate peppermint cookies.
Chocolate Cookie Crust
A Baked By Jen Original
Makes 1 9-inch crust
15 chocolate peppermint sandwich cookies
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350F. Place the cookies in a ziploc bag. Flatten, remove excess air, and seal. Roll a rolling pin over the bag until you have finely crushed crumbs. Place crumbs in a bowl and mix in the melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-in springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack as you proceed with cheesecake recipe.
