No-Bake Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake image

A delicious and easy no-baking involved wintertime dessert. Everything just whips together with your mixer and gets thrown into the freezer. Or, this can also be a great way to use up those candy canes after Christmas. Garnish right before serving.

The crust was a little crumbly, but the cheesecake itself was very good.

This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.
