Peppermint Cheesecake Cake

November 12, 2018 by Kaylynn Zoe 3 Comments

I love peppermint and I love cheesecake – so a peppermint cheesecake cake was an obvious choice! I used a white cake for my peppermint cheesecake cake, but you could use a chocolate cake and be in good shape! This peppermint cheesecake cake is sure to be the hit at your next event!

I love peppermint and I love cheesecake, so a peppermint cheesecake cake simply makes sense.

The Best Peppermint Cheesecake Cake

Peppermint cheesecake cake
It’s funny because as I was making this cheesecake I was reminded of the first time I ever made a cheesecake.Ironically enough, it actually WAS a peppermint cheesecake (not this one) and it was a nightmare. I was SUCH a rookie I didn’t know that the cream cheese needed to be softened – have you ever tried beating cold cream cheese? Nightmare. Also, I used my whisk attachment instead of the paddle attachment. Basically – this first peppermint cheesecake was a hopeless disaster. Plus, the middle was under-cooked. It was an utter fail.

Somehow people still ate it and told me it was delicious. What wonderful, beautiful liars.

Here we are, several years later and I’ve definitely learned a thing or two about cheesecakes. These days I can usually cook the middle. Bless my heart.

The white cake was a tough call – I easily could have done a chocolate cake. I wasn’t disappointed. The white cake was subtle addition and it made the peppermint flavor the star of this peppermint cheesecake.

My favorite part of this cake is definitely the crushed peppermint. (Plus, the Trader Joe’s Peppermint Joe-Joes on top – those things are my kryptonite!)
