Dulce de Leche Turtle Cheesecake - Week 3
This recipe was our own adaptation to the classic cheesecake, and the idea was conceived after finding the Thin Mint Cheese cake recipe.

3. In large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, eggs, and egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Add cream and mix only enough to blend. Fold in cup of chocolate chips and cup of caramel bits.
4. Pour filling over crust and bake for 10 minutes at 475 degrees. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees and continue to bake for 1 hour. Turn oven off, but leave cake in for another hour. Don't worry if it looks a little jiggly in the middle.

Thin Mint Cheesecake - Week 3
This recipe has been tried before in this house, but Aubriana picked it out of our file folder and insisted we make it. It is incredibly rich and delicious and had to be shared. On a side note, we were able to make this in the summer because we bought and froze our Girl Scout cookies back in February during cookie season. It's true what the Girl Scouts say, these cookies really do "freeze beautifully"!
Ingredients:
1 box Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, finely chopped
6 teaspoons butter, melted
1/2 box Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, coarsley chopped

2 egg yolks
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
whipped cream, if desired

3. In large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, eggs, and egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Add cream and mix only enough to blend. Fold in coarsely chopped Thin Mint cookies.
4. Pour filling over crust and bake for 10 minutes at 475 degrees. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees and continue to bake for 1 hour. Turn oven off, but leave cake in for another hour. Don't worry if it looks a little jiggly in the middle.
