Individual No Bake Peppermint Cheesecake

It's no bake, it's make ahead, it's light and refreshing after a big meal...it's the perfect dessert!

Ingredients:

Oreo Crust:
22 oreo cookies (original or mint is even better!)
3 tbsps butter

Filling:
2 - 250g pkgs cream cheese
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup icing sugar
1 tsp peppermint extract
pink or green food colouring

Garnish:
Whipped cream, candy sprinkles, mint chocolate, crushed candy canes

For the crust simply toss your cookies (I don't literally mean "toss your cookies"!!) into the food processor with butter and pulse until crumbled.

Press into the bottom of 12 serving dishes. You can use something flat-bottomed to press or use your fingers.

In one bowl beat the cream cheese and white sugar together. In another bowl whip the whipping cream and icing sugar together, then fold both together along with the peppermint extract and food colouring.

Spoon over oreo crust and chill. This can be made 2 or 3 days in advance of when you want to serve them, just cover each with plastic wrap. 

Then when you're ready to serve add the garnishes and dig in!

Makes 12 - 1/2 cup servings
