Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecake Cups

Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecake Cups

Here’s something magical about the combination of cool peppermint and creamy white chocolate — especially when it’s served in mini cups that sparkle like snowflakes. These no-bake cheesecakes are smooth, refreshing, and perfectly portioned for your Christmas table.


Ingredients (makes ~12 cups)

You’ll need:

  • 12 mini dessert cups (or 12 small glasses)

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (or digestive biscuits)

  • 3 Tbsp melted butter

Filling

  • 250 g (≈ 9 oz) cream cheese, softened

  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar

  • ½ cup heavy cream, whipped until soft peaks

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 drops Peppermint Flavour Concentrate (Fusion Flavours)

  • ¼ cup melted white chocolate, cooled slightly

Topping

  • Whipped cream

  • Crushed candy-canes or peppermint candy

  • Optional: mini mint leaves or edible silver stars


Method

  1. Make the base: Combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press about 1 Tbsp into each cup to form a base. Chill for 10 minutes.

  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla and peppermint flavour.

  3. Fold and fill: Gently fold in the whipped cream, then mix in the melted white chocolate until creamy and smooth.

  4. Assemble: Spoon filling over the crusts and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until set.

  5. Finish with flair: Pipe or dollop whipped cream on top, sprinkle crushed candy-canes, and garnish with a mint leaf or edible star.

Serve with a smile — the bright mint and white chocolate speak of the season and celebration.
