Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake!

This recipe came from Southern Lady

Nov/Dec '06 ~ I've had it torn out and save on

our refrigerator for over a year. 

Today it came to fruition! 

Can't wait to cut it and try it. 

The bowl remains were delicious! 

Crust:

1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs

1/4 c butter, melted

 1/4 c sugar

*mix these and press into 9" springform pan 

and refrigerate until filling is prepared.

Filling: 

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 (14 oz) can sweet condensed milk

1 cup crushed hard peppermint candy

2 cups whipping cream, whipped

crushed peppermint sticks for garnish 

*mix 1st three and fold in whipped cream.

Pour into crust and sprinkle crushed ppm

on top and freeze until serving. 

optional:

Hot chocolate sauce:

1 cup (6 oz) semisweet choc. chips

1 stick butter

 2 cups confectioners' sugar

1 (12 oz) can evap. milk

1 t vanilla extract

*melt the chips and butter in a saucepan

over low heat, stirring frequently.

Add the powdered sugar and evap. milk

and mix well. cook for 8 min. or until thickened, 

stirring frequently. Stir in Vanilla. 

Now that is a LOT of sauce and so I didn't even 

make it. If you did, I think it would be used for

other purposes such as on ice cream. 

Merry Christmas all!!!
