Peppermint Chocolate Cheesecake Two Ways: Instant Pot and Traditional Oven Bake

Everyone loves an easy, yet impressive-looking dessert.

This rich, chocolatey cheesecake is made with the help of a food processor to blitz the cookie crust, mix the filling and even whip the topping of lightly sweetened peppermint whipped cream.

The chocolate cookie crust is filled with chocolate/peppermint cheesecake, then covered in dark chocolate peppermint ganache. A sprinkle of minty crushed candy canes adds a spike of holiday flair or refreshing cool winter topper.

Prepare this sweet ending two different ways, with slight alterations to preparation to allow for either Instant Pot or Traditional Oven preparation.
