Fun Cheesecake Flavors

Jen Garner from SLC, UT

Very easy and tasty recipe for cheesecake. I also made it with a graham cracker crust and eggnog flavor Coffee-Mate. I love the holiday Coffee-Mate flavors and was excited to find a recipe that uses it as an ingredient.
Very good and very easy

I recently made this cheesecake for my father-in-law's birthday. It was such a big hit. The only thing that would have made it better would be adding a little more peppermint flavor. I added crushed candy canes to the top to give it a pretty pink shimmer. Overall this recipe was very good.
Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake

I followed the recipe but substituted the Peppermint Mocha Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid Coffee Creamer with Irish Crème Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid Coffee Creamer, mixed in a little green food coloring & BAM BAM instat Irish chocolate Cheesecake. Not only pretty but yummy yummy good.
Great holiday dessert!

S Hardesty from COSHOCTON, OH

Very good cheesecake! I saw a peppermint cheesecake on a television to purchase for over $40 plus over $15 shipping! I made this 2 times as you can get two cheesecakes from one peppermint/mocha creamer. I love peppermint so I added 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract to the batter and 2 drops of red food coloring to make it a pretty pink color. Will definitely make again next holiday season!

Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake with Variations

M St. Pierre from NM

This was my first time making this cheesecake and I had to improvise from the recipe a little. 2 days before christmas, I couldn't find the Peppermint Mocha flavor Coffee creamer. I decided to try to use a Mocha flavor with peppermint extract. Since again it was 2 days before christmas, peppermint extract also could not be found. I ended up with Peppermint Schnapps, which actually turned out very good but with a very mild peppermint flavor, even though i'm not sure how much you can taste the Peppermint in the original recipe. It was great even with my variations. I made two, one for my family and one for my in-laws.

This sounds very good. I was just dreaming about a chocolate peppermint cheesecake. I've tried peppermint bark and peppermint fudge cookies, and I wondered where I could buy a peppermint cheesecake. Now I can make one.
