Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
3 tablespoons melted margarine
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water

½ cup white sugar
½ cup milk
¼ cup crushed peppermint starlight candies

This cheesecake was a bit too minty for my taste, but it was still delicious. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less mint extract.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was curdled. I don't know what went wrong.

This peppermint cheesecake was a huge hit at my holiday party! The creamy, minty filling was perfectly balanced by the graham cracker crust. I'll definitely be making this again next year.
