Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed
1 (10.5 ounce) package Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, unwrapped
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Green and red sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Continue mixing until the filling is smooth and thick.
Assemble the layers: Place half of the unwrapped Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes in a single layer over the chilled crust. Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cakes.
Arrange the remaining Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes on top of the first filling layer. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the cakes, spreading evenly to cover.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream topping over the chilled cheesecake. Decorate with green and red sprinkles before serving.
Notes
You can use Golden Oreo crumbs instead of graham crackers for a different crust flavor.
For a decorative look, place whole or halved Christmas Tree Cakes around the edge of the cheesecake before adding the whipped topping.
This dessert sets best when chilled for a full 12 hours.
