I made this last weekend for my family. My brother and sister-in-law LOVE cheesecake AND mint (especially those little Andes mints). It was a huge hit! It was rich (as cheesecake almost always is), but not too rich.

This recipe is in the new Festive Holiday Desserts cookbook and was very easy to make. We had some extra so I froze the pieces and used my Food Saver so I could have a yummy treat later.

Has anyone else made this? If so, what do you think about it?
 
I haven't had it yet, but thanks for the review. I love cheesecake and mint, too. Now I'll have to get the recipe out and try it. :)
 
I haven't had a chance to do any of the recipes in the Holiday Cookbook yet. I am still working on the F/W SB. I just love so many of them this season. Thanks for the "heads up". It looks absolutely yummy! I will add it to the top of my list.
