Thank you to Pacific Rim Riesling for providing me with Sara Lee product coupons and recipes plus samples of their products. This content is intended for those 21 years and older. If you choose to drink alcohol, enjoy it responsibly and please do not drink and drive.

Peppermint Bark Cheesecake Recipe

If you are looking to add a festive twist to your favorite holiday desserts, then check out this easy Peppermint Bark Cheesecake.

We decided to make this dish a family affair and my 2 older children got involved with the preparation.

Peppermint Bark Cheesecake Recipe

To recreate this Peppermint Bark Cheesecake Recipe and the flavor combination you will need the following:

• 1 Sara Lee Original Cream Classic or New York Style Cheesecake

• 1 package bittersweet chocolate chips

• ½ cup heavy cream

• 20 peppermint candies, unwrapped and crushed with a rolling-pin in a sealable plastic bag (I had my son do this in a container with a hammer)

Adults, be sure to pair your cheesecake with a Pacific Rim Riesling for a tasty compliment of sweetness.

Instructions for the ganache:

1. Measure one cup chocolate chips into a glass bowl.

2. Heat cream to almost boiling.

3. Add hot cream to chocolate chips and stir until chocolate is melted.

4. Store warm until ready to use.

4. Break into 10 random pieces.

In addition to the original recipe, I also decided to garnish the outside of the cheesecake with peppermint pieces along with pieces of bark.

After this, I then added more pieces of the bark directly into the cheesecake. It was so pretty!

    I think my kids would love helping make this recipe too if they get to mash up the peppermints. My husband likes a good Riesling and anything by Sara Lee, so I know he'd like your idea of pairing them.
