Zubereitung von Candy Cane Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush candy canes into fine crumbs; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, crushed candy canes, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the heavy cream and peppermint extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
- Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
- Bake for 75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for another hour. This will help prevent cracking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Remove the sides of the springform pan before serving. Garnish with additional crushed candy canes and fresh peppermint sprigs (optional).
