Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Decoration & Assembly
- 1 package Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (6 cakes)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy to create the base for the filling.
- Add sweetness and flavor: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture to lighten the texture, ensuring it is fluffy and airy.
- Prepare the Christmas Tree Cakes: Cut the tops off each cake and scoop out some of the filling inside to create space for the cheesecake filling.
- Fill the cakes: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each hollowed Christmas Tree Cake, filling them generously.
- Chocolate coating: Melt the chocolate chips until smooth, then dip each filled cake into the melted chocolate to coat evenly.
- Chill to set: Place the chocolate-coated cakes onto a wax paper-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens and the desserts are set.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Gently folding in the whipped cream preserves its airy texture helping to keep the cheesecake light.
- Use wax paper when chilling to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
- Store completed cheesecakes in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
- You can substitute dark, milk, or white chocolate chips according to preference.
