One more peppermint inspired recipe before we are full swing into Christmas.. Man I can’t believe we are just a few days away, although I say that every year, do we ever get to a point in our life where we are ready for it 😉 These peppermint mini cheesecake bites were requested by a facebook follower and I am happy she did. They are so delicious and a great 2 point treat to serve your guests this holiday!

Any way to make this into a regular size cheesecake using nonfat greek yogurt, eggs, peppermint extract
Hi Tina, sure you can try it in a full-size cheesecake, I am not sure if it will be enough to make a full cake but you could adjust as needed
