It came in a monthly magazine from our electric co-op and arrived last week with a batch of peppermint recipes and selecting a NC Christmas tree. think the magazine was a bit late being delivered.
Anyway, here it is: The recipe used a chocolate cookie crust, but I made one with Hob Nob oatmeal cookies. Mine really worked but I'm betting the chocolate one would too.
Crust:
3 Cups chocolate sandwich cookies
4 TBL butter
Make crumbs, melt butter, press into buttered 9" springform. Bake 350 for 8-10 minutes.
Lower temp to 325.
Filling:
32 oz cream cheese (4 pkg)
1.25 C sugar
3/4 C sour cream
6 oz white chocolate, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 eggs, room temp
1/4 C crushed peppermint candies, plus topping
5 oz dark chocolate (optional)
Beat cream cheese, sugar and sour cream. Add melted chocolate, extracts, salt.
Mix eggs one at a time. Fold in 1/4 C crushed peppermint.
Bake 60-70 minutes.
The recipe just melts chocolate, but I made ganache with dark chocolate & heavy cream (1:1 ratio). Then I added more crushed peppermint.
My new computer is generating .HEIC images and I can't load them. Pity, because this was picture perfect.
oh, after 13,586 searches on macbook settings, I figured out how to fix that.
