Frozen Chocolate Mocha Cheesecake

i wish i could take credit for this dessert, but i can't.  i can however take credit for eating it, a proud moment indeed, and for also scooping up some leftovers for later on today.

this recipe accompanied my lovely friend ET and her hubby to our annual 'wildcat' christmas potluck. 4 years strong, it's one of my favourite traditions over the holidays as we feast, exchange secret santa ornaments, and partake in christmas cheer!

thanks for the delicious dessert, and sharing the recipe.

cheers.xo.
