I would not reccomend this recipe. If left out of the freezer to serve, even for five minutes, these "cheesecakes" become mush. Also, the sweetened condensed milk gave them a funny taste. The peppermint flavor was also too strong...might as well just eat a candy cane. Maybe the directions were written wrong...in any case this recipe needs some adjustment. Sorry to be so harsh.
