Create a festive and easy no-bake cheesecake featuring the nostalgic flavor of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. This dessert looks like a holiday tree and requires minimal effort for maximum holiday cheer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or Oreo crumbs)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 box (5.76 oz) Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
  • Green food coloring (optional, for decoration)
  • Additional Little Debbie Cakes and sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Chop or crumble about half of the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Fold these pieces gently into the cheesecake filling.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
  6. Arrange the remaining whole Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes decoratively on top of the cheesecake to resemble a tree shape.
  7. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
  8. Before serving, decorate with extra sprinkles or piped green frosting if desired. Carefully remove the springform ring before slicing.

Notes

  • For a truly simple assembly, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute Oreo crumbs for a chocolate crust, which pairs well with the Little Debbie filling.
  • This recipe works best as a no-bake version for speed and ease during holiday preparations.
  • If you want a greener filling, add a few drops of green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
