Peppermint Party Cheesecake Charlie Brown's friend would certainly approve of this pepperminty, pink-tinted dessert. It's a fun choice for a birthday celebration.

Crust
1-1/2 cups graham cracker
   crumbs (24 squares)
1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted

Filling
Three 8 ounce packages
   cream cheese,softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 to 3 drops red food color

 

1. Heat oven to 350 degree F. In medium bowl, combine crust ingredients; mix well. Press in bottom of ungreased 10 inch spring-form pan.

2. In large bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar; beat until light and fluffy Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream and vanilla; blend well. Place 1 cup mixture in small bowl; stir in peppermint extract and food color.

3. Pour remaining cream cheese mixture into crust-lined pan. Drop spoonfuls of peppermint mixture over cream cheese mixture. Pull knife randomly through batter in wide curves; turn pan and repeat for swirl effect.

4. Bake at 350 degree F. for 50 to 60 minutes or until center is set. (To minimize cracking, place shallow pan half full of hot water on lower oven rack during baking.) Cool in pan on wire rack for 1 hour or until completely cooled. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. Just before serving, carefully remove sides of pan. Garnish as desired. Store in refrigerator.
