# How to Make It:

02 - Place pan on the middle rack and bake crust for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until just incorporated.

05 - Pour filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly wobbly.
06 - Allow cheesecake to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until well chilled.
07 - Before serving, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top.
