Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 11 minutes and let cool.
- Melt the white chocolate bars in a microwave-safe bowl. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Gradually add melted white chocolate, sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth and incorporate eggs one at a time, folding in peppermint chips last.
- Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. To prevent cracking, prepare a water bath by placing the pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
- Bake for 75-85 minutes, until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and crack the door. Let cool inside for 30 minutes then chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until medium peaks form. Spread over chilled cheesecake and top with crushed candy canes.

Notes
Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother filling. Using a water bath prevents cracks during baking. Chill for best results.
