Peppermint

Peppermint hot cocoa & peppermint jelly roll cake....what says Christmas season more that this?  Well, my husband's family has had peppermint ice cream during the holidays and I've fallen in love with it.  I'll mix add chocolate candy bars to it or serve it with brownies and chocolate sauce.  Now, this was delicious but I almost died when I tried Cheesecake Factory's peppermint cheesecake.  I don't have the recipe but would love any ideas if anyone also loves chocolate peppermint cheesecake.  Here is one recipe that I found at cooks.com that sounds simple and yummy!
