Step 4 – Assemble and Chill:
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the base layer. Smooth the top and decorate with sprinkles if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Step 5 – Serve:
- Slice and serve chilled. Add whipped cream or extra sprinkles for a festive finish.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This cheesecake sets best when chilled overnight, making it perfect to prepare the day before a holiday event.

- Flavour Option: Try using chocolate Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes for a chocolaty variation.
- Texture Boost: Add crushed graham crackers or cookies between layers for extra crunch.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, tightly covered.
