Ingredients

Ready-made chocolate crumb crust
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 bag (9 ounces) York Peppermint Patties, unwrapped and quartered
2 tablespoons milk
Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

Heat oven to 450 degrees. In large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Add flour, one tablespoon at a time, blending well. Add eggs; blend just until smooth. In medium microwave-safe bowl, place peppermint pattie pieces and milk. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or just until candy is melted and smooth when stirred.

Add to cream cheese mixture, blending until smooth. Pour into prepared crust.

Bake 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Continue baking 40 to 45 minutes or until center appears set. Remove from oven to wire rack; with knife, loosen cake from side of pan. Cool completely; remove side of pan. Cover; refrigerate. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. Cover; refrigerate leftovers. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
