Make This candy Cane Cheesecake For The Holidays

Candy Cane Cheesecake is a dessert consisting of a filling made of soft, cream cheese on a base made from graham cracker crumbs. It is also very high in fat, with a creamy texture which can only be created through a high fat content. Cheesecake is one of those desserts that so many people love, but hate to make themselves. Candy Cane Cheesecake is always elegant, yet deceptively easy to make. Try topping this cheesecake with whipped cream before sprinkling with crushed candy canes, or drizzle with melted chocolate. Recipes are designed to be adaptable to what you like.
