Thank you for sharing this. My grandmother use to make this. We have the recipe but have never been able to get it to work. Because it was one of those old time recipes. That was a pinch of this a scant of that and put it on the fire. So thank you I can’t wait to make it. Bring back that wonderful taste back into ourChristmas

You’re very welcome Lea! 🙂 Thank you for such a nice comment! I’m glad you like the recipe!
Nana Clare says
Have you ever frozen the cheesecake if you have made it ahead of time?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Nana, I haven’t tried that so I’m not sure. Sorry!
Parry says
Hi, I am planning to make this cake but can’t find bittersweet chocolate. Any suggestions about substitute?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Parry, you can use semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet chocolate. They are actually very similar in taste. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!
Jim Dickmeyer says
Recipe is soooo good. I made cupcakes, which made it easy to share with co-workers. Recipe made 28 cupcakes. Hit the ball out of the park, everyone loved them!!!
I will say it take quite a bit longer working with cupcakes. I should have used the bottom of a small glass to form the Oreo base instead of a spoon to pack the crust.
Adding the crushed peppermint to the filling really brings out the peppermint taste. Extracts only would not do it.
Thank you for such a great recipe.

You’re very welcome, Jim! 🙂 I’m very glad you like the recipe!
Joy says
I’m really excited to try and make these! Do you think that I could add gelatin into the recipe to make it a bit firmer?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Joy, Absolutely, but It will also set beautifully in the fridge. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!
Dolly Thicke says
How did that go? Mine came out just a little too loose.
Tiffany says
Hi, I’m wanting to make this cheesecake for a Christmas party but instead of making it pie size I want to use a 9×13 pan. Do you think that would work alright and would doubling the recipe be enough or should I make more? Thanks and Merry Christmas ??
Lidia Simic says
Hi Tiffany, This cheesecake can definitely be made in a 9×13 pan, I haven’t tried it since I almost always use my trusty 9-inch pan, but keep in mind the layers will be thinner (especially the crust). Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!
Kaye says
Do you pour the chocolate over the top while it’s still in the springform pan, let it harden and then remove from the form?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Kaye, Yes you are right. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!
Karla says
Hi! Do you wait to put on the chocolate topping until after the cheesecakes has set in the fridge for -4 hours?
Yummiest Food says
Hi! Yes, you’re right!
Amber says
It says to serve right after you put the chocolate on..can I put the chocolate on and then serve it a few hours later, also could you just make the whole thing a day before you need it?
-Thank you!
Yummiest Food says
Yes, sure.
Sheri says
