Inspired by peppermint bark, one of my favorite Christmas candies, this peppermint bark cheesecake is as festive as it is beautiful. My recipe pairs smooth, creamy white chocolate cheesecake with crushed candy canes and a crumbly Oreo crust. It’s draped in a rich chocolate ganache cloak and topped with whipped cream and more candy canes for extra flair.

This is the sort of show-stopper dessert you bring to elevate any Christmas dessert table. It has just the right amount of peppermint flavor (which can be a challenge!) that complements the chocolate(s) so nicely. Plus, my version is markedly less fussy than you might think, especially considering it’s made WITHOUT a water bath (because that’s the only way we do cheesecake around here).
