- ¼ c. sour cream
- 1 tsp. peppermint extract
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. kosher salt

- 1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed
- 5 tbsp. melted butter
- ¼ c. sugar

- FORT THE TOPPING

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325º and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap bottom of pan with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Make cheesecake filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, then sour cream, flour, peppermint extract, and salt. Gently fold in crushed candy canes.
- Make crust: In a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Press mixture into prepared pan.
- Pour filling over crust. Bake until center of cheesecake only slightly jiggles, about 1 hour 30 minutes. (If you want to bake the cheesecake in a water bath, wrap bottom of pan and place in a deep baking pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come up halfway in the baking pan.) Turn off heat, prop open oven door, and let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour, then remove aluminum foil and refrigerate cheesecake in pan until firm, at least 5 hours and up to overnight.
- Add whipped cream along the border of cheesecake and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
