Diabetic Dessert Recipes for Chocoholics 2: Mint Choc Cheesecake
This is the second of three diabetic dessert recipes for chocoholics. It’s a minty chocolate treat which will do just as well on its own (perhaps better - I always find cheesecake is too filling for dessert). If you prefer not to use alcohol, replace the Schnapps with ¼ cup water and 1 tsp peppermint extract.

12 Servings1¼ cups graham cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs
1 tblsp butter melted
