White Chocolate Peppermint Poke Cake is bursting with peppermint flavor and is so delicious. It’s perfect for your holiday parties. I love making poke cakes for parties. They can be made well in advance and you don’t have to worry about them going stale.

 
Most of the poke cakes I make are made with a box of cake mix, but this one is a homemade batter with peppermint extract and melted white chocolate added in. I saw this White Chocolate Peppermint Poke Cake recipe in a Paula Deen Magazine and knew I had to add it to my poke cake repertoire.

 
Two boxes of pudding mix make this peppermint poke cake super moist. I use one box of white chocolate pudding mix and one box of cheesecake pudding mix. (The original recipe calls for 2 boxes of cheesecake pudding mix.) On top is a thick layer of Cool Whip. You could certainly whip some heavy cream if you don’t want to use Cool Whip.
Sprinkle some crushed peppermints on top and you have a wonderful Christmas dessert!
