MR. FOOD'S PEPPERMINT SWIRL CHEESECAKE



Mr. Food's Peppermint Swirl Cheesecake image

Years ago, Mr. Food put out a digest size magazine with this beautiful cheesecake on the cover. I made the cheesecake and remember loving it. Then my copy of this magazine "bit the dust." Gone was the recipe :( Gone until this year, that is, when another magazine, Popular Plates Holiday Baking, put the same cheesecake on the cover and the recipe inside. I'm putting the recipe here, so I'll never lose it again!

  • Place 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture in a small bowl and stir in the peppermint extract and red food color; mix well. Pour remaining cream cheese mixture into the pie crust.
