Doesn’t that look delicious?! I think I could look at this cheesecake all day, but we eventually had to cut into it and see just how it tasted. I was really nervous with this recipe. This recipe is unlike any cheesecakes I’ve made before. When reading through the recipe, I felt it was more a custard/tart then cheesecake. However, it is the name given, so we won’t change that.
Chef Darren McGrady, a former chef for Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, is now working with Walkers Shortbread to create seasonal recipes to dress up your holiday table. This Mint Chocolate Crunch Cheesecake is just one of the many he’s created to pair with the delicious buttery shortbread cookies from Walkers.
I’ve been a big fan of using items other than graham crackers for my cheesecake crusts. From sugar cookie dough to Thin Mints, the crust can really shine in a cheesecake if you let it. Walkers shortbread cookies are just another fantastic find for my cheesecake making forays.
I made a few adjustments to my version of the Walkers Mint Chocolate Crunch Cheesecake. For one, we don’t do alcohol in this house, so I exchanged the Creme to Menthe for Peppermint Extract. Instead of milk chocolate shavings, I went with semi-sweet. And the last change, I used 2 packages of the Festive Stars for the crust, instead of Walkers Shortbread Fingers.
Even with the changes, I got great reviews from the adults. The kids were a little less appreciative of the flavors, but truly enjoyed the beauty of this dessert as much as everyone else has. So enjoy, and if you give it a try, let me know!
