Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafer cookies
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup crushed candy canes, divided
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam

Method
 

  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium, then high, until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1/4 cup crushed candy canes.
  2. Microwave chocolate chips and 3 tbsp heavy cream in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Spread one-third of the peppermint cream in an 8-inch square dish. Layer with cookies, half the jam, and half the ganache. Repeat layers, finishing with the final third of cream on top.
  4. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours. Top with remaining crushed candy canes, slice, and serve.

Notes

The cookies need at least 6 hours to soften, but overnight gives you cleaner, firmer layers and the flavor deepens. If the ganache firms up too much while you assemble, warm it for 10 seconds to make it pourable again.
