Description
A delightful dessert featuring a creamy cheesecake designed as a cute snowman, perfect for festive gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate chips or candies (for eyes and mouth)
- Orange candy or icing (for the nose)
- Cherries (for rosy cheeks)
- Decorative bow (optional, remove before cutting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or overnight until the cheesecake is set.
- Decorate the Snowman: For the eyes and mouth, use chocolate chips or candies; for the nose, place an orange candy or use orange icing, and add cherries for rosy cheeks. If desired, place a decorative bow at the bottom or side (remember to remove it before cutting!).
- Serve: Carefully release the springform pan and slice the cheesecake.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened before mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
