Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed Little Debbie Christmas Tree snack cakes
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (for icing glaze)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Additional cream cheese icing (optional)
- Sugar sprinkles
- Crushed Little Debbie Christmas Tree snack cakes for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, egg, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cake is golden brown. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and sour cream, and mix until well incorporated.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed Little Debbie Christmas Tree snack cakes. Stir until evenly combined.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the cheesecake filling over the top. Smooth out evenly and bake for 20-25 minutes until set and slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- For the icing glaze, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk.
- Once chilled, cut the cheesecake into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle the cream cheese icing glaze over each piece.
- Garnish with additional cream cheese icing, sugar sprinkles, and crushed Little Debbie snack cakes.
Notes
Let the cheesecake bites chill in the fridge for a few hours before cutting for neat, clean pieces.
