Make this nostalgic holiday dessert by layering creamy vanilla cheesecake filling with iconic Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes on a buttery graham cracker crust. This recipe is easy and requires no oven time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (10.5 oz) Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, unwrapped
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Green food coloring (optional, for topping)
  • Red and green sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
  2. Place half of the unwrapped Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes in a single layer over the chilled crust.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  4. Beat in the milk until the mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the layer of Christmas Tree Cakes in the pan. Top with the remaining Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes.
  6. Spread the remaining cheesecake filling evenly over the top layer of cakes.
  7. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
  8. For the topping (optional): Whip a small amount of extra heavy cream with a drop of green food coloring until stiff. Pipe or spread the green cream onto the set cheesecake. Decorate with red and green sprinkles.
  9. Release the sides of the springform pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can use Golden Oreo crumbs instead of graham crackers for a different crust flavor.
  • For a baked version, bake at 325°F for 45-55 minutes, then cool completely before chilling.
  • This dessert tastes best when made a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld.
