NO BAKE PEPPERMINT CHEESECAKE

It had a nice rich flavor, except for the peppermint. I had to substitute with cream de menth and did not use enough. I used melted Baker's chocolate bars. Also, disappointed my crust stuck to pan, probably due to butter leaking into my oven during baking which was a smoky issue. If I make again I will not use springform pan.

This was very easy and delicious!!! I was not able to find the cookie baking crumbs so I used enough chopped Oreo crumbs (from 2 boxes of Oreo no bake dessert) and mixed with the butter for a delicious crust. I was not able to find the chocolate cream cheese so I just used all regular cream cheese. I had pre-chopped my candy canes (4) before our guests arrived and the cheesecake needed to cool for 4 hrs. Some of our guests were getting ready to leave but I did not want them to miss the dessert, so i skipped the whipped topping and just sprinkled my candy cane crumble on top and it was a hit. (It was rich enough without the added cream and chocolate.) DELICIOUS!!!!
