A classy dessert for your next Christmas event, this Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake is simple to make and full of peppermint flavor.
I mentioned a few posts back that we had bought a house and were in process of getting a closing date. I don’t know if all of you have had similar experiences, but it has been one frustration after another. We are about ready to fire both our lawyer and the appraiser. Thankfully, the bank has been great, but it has taken much longer than we anticipated.
We also feel the pressure of Christmas coming and want to be in our new house before Christmas. Crazy, I feel like I’m at a standstill on the packing front until we know for sure when we are moving because I don’t want to pack up things we need.
So this week I’m trying to accomplish all of my Christmas shopping, wrapping, last minute Christmas baking and Christmas card mailings. So it’s a busy, but frustrating week because I’m a planner and just want to know what is going to happen when.
Thankfully, I still have a bit of this Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake left over from last week and can eat away my feelings in rich Christmas flavors. Because, I sort of feel like we are being cheated this Christmas because we can’t decorate and participate in all our favorite traditions! But I am going to make Christmas cookies with a friend tonight and I’m excited about that.
This Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake is a fun, but easy dessert for your Christmas events. Sometimes making cheesecakes seem labor intensive, but the hands on time is a lot shorter than a typical layer cake. Just plan ahead for the long bake time. The chocolate cookie crust, peppermint mint cheesecake layer and chocolate ganache spread on top make one classy dessert.
