Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until you achieve a moist, crumbly mixture. Press it into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Chop the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and fold them into the cheesecake filling. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Bake the cheesecake for approximately 45 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Let it cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Don't rush the chilling process; allowing the cheesecake to set enhances texture and flavor. Decorate with festive toppings after chilling.
