Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Cups with Holiday Flair

Print Recipe

Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Cups are creamy, individual no-bake treats layered with a chocolate cookie crust, rich mint-infused cheesecake filling, and a touch of holiday flair with festive toppings. Perfect for holiday parties or make-ahead desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, crushed)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • Crushed peppermint candies or holiday sprinkles (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly among serving cups and press down to form the crust layer. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  4. Add powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired and mix until evenly tinted.
  7. Stir in mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
  8. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust in each cup.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
  10. Top with crushed peppermint candies or festive sprinkles before serving.

Notes

  • Use clear cups to show off the festive layers.
  • Make ahead and store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the peppermint extract to taste — a little goes a long way.
