Choc Chip Candy Cane Cheesecake

This is the ULTIMATE Christmas cheesecake! The candy canes give a beautiful minty taste which is beautifully refreshing on a summers day, and the dark chocolate chips balance out the sweetness of the cheesecake. This is super quick and easy (I LOVE easy recipes) to whip up for the festive season!

Add ‘base’ ingredients to bowl.

Mix 15 seconds/Speed 9.

Pour into pan and press down with the back of a metal spoon.
No need to wash out bowl (just try and get as much of the crumbs out into the pan as you can).

Add ‘cheesecake’ ingredients ingredients to bowl.

Mix 20 seconds/Speed 6.

Pour into pan and spread.

Place in fridge overnight to set.

Once set, decorate with melted chocolate, peanut M and M’s and silver cachous as per the pictures.

(To melt dark chocolate chips – place in a ziplock bag – zap in 30 second intervals and squish bag until all choc chips are melted).

Notes

* In the photo I used a 25cm wide springform pan. You can use a smaller springform pan i.e. 20cm and the base and filling will be higher/deeper 🙂 ** If you don't like mint, you can omit the candy canes to make a Choc Chip Cheesecake 🙂
