A delightful mint chocolate cheesecake with a chocolate ganache glaze, perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • Chocolate ganache (for topping)
  • Andes mints or mint chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stir in sour cream and heavy cream. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring for a festive color.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
  5. Bake for about 55-60 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, top with chocolate ganache and garnish with Andes mints or chocolate chips. Enjoy!

Notes

To avoid cracks on top, place a small dish of water in the oven while baking to create steam. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
