Directions

1

Prepare CHOCOLATE CRUMB CRUST: Heat convection oven to 425°F (standard oven: 450°F). Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar, HERSHEY'S Cocoa and melted butter in large bowl, stirring until blended. Press approximately 12 oz. mixture onto bottom and 1/2 to 1-inch up sides of each of three (9-inch) spring-form pans.

2

Mix together cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and vanilla in 20 qt. bowl of mixer fitted with paddle attachment until smooth and creamy. Add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well. Add eggs, mixing just until incorporated. Place YORK Minis Peppermint Patties and milk in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 1 to 2 minutes or just until peppermint patties are melted and smooth when stirred. Add to cream cheese mixture, mixing until well blended. Divide filling equally into each prepared crust.

3

Bake 10 minutes. Reduce convection oven temperature to 225°F (standard oven: 250°F); continue baking 25 to 40 minutes or until center appears set.* Remove from oven to wire rack; with knife, loosen cakes from side of pans. Cool completely; remove side of pans. Cover; refrigerate. Just before serving, garnish with additional YORK Minis Peppermint Patties. Cover; refrigerate leftovers. Makes 10 to 12 servings per cheesecake.

Tip

Step 1: Cheesecakes are less likely to crack if baked in a water-bath.
