Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake

I found this recipe on Pinterest and decided to make it for New Year's Eve in the event that someone didn't like bananas.
It was a hit...and super easy!

ingredients
1 package Oreos, crushed into small crumbs
1/4C sugar
1/4C butter, melted
1 8oz package cream cheese, room temperature
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp peppermint extract
2C heavy cream, whipped
red food coloring
1 candy cane, crushed

directions

1. Combine cookie crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl.
2. Add butter and mix well.
3. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and partway up the sides of a 9" springform pan.
4. Refrigerate pan while making the cheesecake.
5. Beat cream cheese until fluffy in a large bowl.
6. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
7. Stir in peppermint extract and food coloring (more food coloring for a redder cake, or less for a more pink hue).
8. Fold in whipped cream.
9. Pour filling into pan.
10. Sprinkle candy cane on top of cheesecake.
11. Cover and freeze for 6 hours, or until firm.
12. Enjoy!
