testing a recipe

[Guest guest]

I want to make a peppermint cheesecake for Christmas, but I'm nervous and

want to test it first. Does anybody see any major errors in my thinking if I

think I'm going to make only a 1/2 recipe to test it -- and not put it in my

springform pan, just a corningware pan? If it turns out good, I will eat it

-- I will eat it ALL! I don't want the calories or to burn myself out on it.

Think that will work? I'm using a cheesecake recipe I've used before, but

using different crust, adding peppermint extract and crushed peppermints on

top (which I know will " melt " unless they're added immediately before

serving).

 

Thanks!
