Cheesecakes are one of my desserts to make. Cookies are up there too. It doesn’t matter if they’re baked or not. You can literally add so many different flavors into cheesecake. I have a cookie butter cheesecake on my blog that is probably my all-time favorite with the triple chocolate cheesecake coming in close behind.

Add in the melted white chocolate, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Stir in the chopped peppermint chips with a spatula.
Fold in the whipped cream in thirds with a spatula. Don't overmix.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the crust and smooth out with the spatula.
Place in the fridge to set up overnight.
