Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a food processor, pulse the Oreos into fine crumbs, then mix with melted unsalted butter until fully combined. Transfer the mixture into a springform pan and press it into an even layer. Bake for 11 minutes until set, then let cool.
  2. Melt white chocolate bars in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Mix in melted chocolate, followed by sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt Until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing gently after each addition. Fold in peppermint chips.
  4. Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Set inside a larger pan filled with hot water and bake for 75-85 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  5. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until medium peaks form. Spread over cheesecake and garnish with peppermint chips or crushed candy canes.
