Peppermint Christmas candy cheesecake #Christmas #cheesecake

Velvety ricotta cheesecake blended with beaten peppermint candy and crowned with a layer of white chocolate ganache, Christmas candy and sprinkles.

Years in the past, before I had Tiffany you’d find me inside the neighborhood book place with a book, a coffee and a sweet treat. It changed into a pleasant manner to enjoy an afternoon, get out of the residence, try new books, see other humans and always willing to attempt the seasonal treats.

There’s just one minor thing i'd alternate about the recipe (now that i understand how it seems) – rather than finely chop the mints i might spoil them in difficult portions and add the same amount of pink and green ones for a greater Christmas-y look
