Crust Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a bowl, combine crushed mint Oreo cookies with melted butter and press evenly into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until smooth. Gradually add the eggs, mixing on low speed until just blended.
Combine and Bake
- Fold in holiday sprinkles into the cheesecake mixture, then pour over the cooled crust. Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly.
Cooling
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 10 minutes. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Buttercream Frosting
- While chilling, beat the softened butter until fluffy, slowly adding confectioners' sugar until smooth. Adjust with milk for desired consistency.
Frost and Decorate
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, spread buttercream frosting on top, and decorate with mini candy canes and sprinkles.
