Peppermint Lover?



This was Mark's birthday cake.   Yep, Mark is 17 TODAY!  The cheesecake turned out very yummy.  Even our waitresses wanted some - so we shared!  Here is the recipe:
White Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake

12 oz. Oreos
3 TBSP butter, melted

3 (8 oz EACH) cream cheese
3 eggs
4 oz. white baking chocolate
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup crushed candy cane

Directions:
Crush oreos in food processor.  Add melted butter, stir then pat on bottom of 10 - inch springform pan.  Bake crust for 10 minutes.  Cool.

Mix cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until just blended.  Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each. Melt white chocolate and stir into cream cheese mixture.  Gently fold crushed candy cane into cream cheese mixture and pour over crust.  Bake 45 - 50 minutes at 350 until center is almost set.  Completely cool then refrigerate at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, spread a thin layer of whipped topping on top of cheesecake and sprinkle with more crushed candy canes.

Next time I make this I am going to make some white chocolate icing and pipe a design along the top edge instead of the whipped topping.  That will be rich tasting!  I just think it will be better than the cool whip!

Tomorrow I plan to do a little more baking and I will share the recipes and how they turn out!

Merry Christmas!!
