Candy Cane Cheesecake Slice

We all know that I love a good no bake slice recipe, especially when there is cheesecake involved!  This Candy Cane Cheesecake Slice is soooo easy to put together and is a fun and cute slice to share with family and friends.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not really a fan of peppermint desserts/treats, however I have to make an exception when it comes to Candy Canes!  This no bake Candy Cane Cheesecake Slice not only looks and tastes great, but it’s also soooo easy to put together and I think the mini candy canes on top are just too cute!

If you are planning to make this Candy Cane Cheesecake Slice for a special occasion, I’d recommend putting it together the day before you need it.  While it should be ok to cut after around 6 hours in the fridge, it’s best to leave it to set overnight – the wait is certainly worth it though!
