Sandra is hosting Cooking Thursday again, so be sure to stop at her place to see what is being shared today!My recipe is one I tried for the first time last week. It's a good one for hot weather, so keep it in mind if it warms up again. It's yummy and refreshing!
*The filling is actually a light green, but the color didn't show up in the picture.Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake
2 cups oreo crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 cups whipping cream, whipped
2 drops green food coloring
4 squares semi sweet chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
Stir oreo crumbs and melted butter together. Press into bottom and up sides of a springform pan. Chill.
In large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and food coloring.
Gently fold in whipping cream.
Pour into pan, cover and freeze.
Combine powdered sugar and evaporated milk, add chocolate and butter. Cook over medium heat until thick. Cool for about an hour and pour over frozen cheesecake.
Freeze at least 6 hours. Keep leftovers frozen.
* I think next time I make this I may put it in a 9x13 pan, as it would be easier to cut than the thick layer in the springform pan!
