I'm allergic to peppermint, so I can't try this cheesecake. But it looks delicious!

This cheesecake is way too expensive. I could have made it at home for half the price.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as good as the one in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cheesecake is so easy to make! I was able to whip it up in no time. The hardest part was waiting for it to chill in the fridge. But it was worth the wait! The cheesecake is so creamy and delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The white chocolate and peppermint flavors are actually really good together. The cheesecake is also very creamy and smooth.

This white chocolate peppermint cheesecake was a hit at my holiday party! The combination of white chocolate and peppermint is perfect for the season, and the cheesecake itself is creamy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again next year
