Prepare Your Dish
Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting it hang over the sides for easy lifting later.
Make the Crust
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of your prepared dish and chill in the fridge.
Create the Filling
Beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Add powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using) until smooth.
Melt the Chocolate
Combine chocolate chips and heavy cream, then melt in the microwave using 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Mix It Up
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until well blended.
Assemble
Spread the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Chill Time
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set firmly.
Finish and Serve
Lift cheesecake out using the parchment overhang. Cut into bite-sized squares and drizzle with melted chocolate. Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top for extra flair.
Enjoy
Serve chilled and savor every refreshing bite!
