Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (finely grind around 20 cookies in a food processor)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup crushed hard peppermint candy (canes work well) – see body of post for directions on how to crush
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 cups whipping cream, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together cookie crumbs and butter. Firmly press into the bottom of either a 9” springform pan or a 9 by 13-inch pan. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Beat cream cheese at high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add condensed milk and beat well. Stir in peppermint candy and chocolate chips.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until peaks form and fold into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Spoon filling into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Freeze until firm (at least 4 hours, preferably overnight).
- Remove from freezer shortly before serving (it melts fairly quickly!) and garnish the top or individual servings with whipped cream and/or crushed peppermint candies.
