Instructions

With a hand mixer, blend all ingredients together until smooth. Add additional peppermint extract as desired.
Pour mixture into an 8x8 pan lined with wax or parchment paper (make sure paper is overflowing on the sides, for easy removal).
For red swirls, put 3-5 drops of red food coloring on the top of the cheesecake and swirl using a knife.
To decorate, swirl drops of red food coloring with a knife. You may also sprinkle bits of candy cane over the top of the cheesecake.
Chill in the fridge for at 1-2 hours.
Use the hanging paper to remove cheesecake from the pan.
Cut into bars and serve.
