MINT CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE



Mint Chocolate Cheesecake image

I created this mint chocolate cheesecake for our high school's annual fundraiser. We were told that it brought a hefty price and was one of the first desserts to go! If desired, you can stir the cookie pieces into the batter instead of adding them in a layer. Keep the pieces fairly small or they have a tendency to rise to the top. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Time 8h55m

Yield 16 (2-inch) squares

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 chocolate wafer cookies
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups sour cream, divided
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup white creme de menthe (see Cook's Note )
3 drops natural green food coloring, optional
Chocolate curls, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick spray and line with foil.
  • Pulse the cookies in a food processor with the butter, sugar, and salt to make a fine crust. Evenly press the crust into the prepared pan taking care to cover the bottom completely. Bake until the crust sets, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl; heat at 75 percent power until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir, and continue to microwave until completely melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
  • Blend the cream cheese, 2/3 cup of the sugar, and 1/2 cup of the sour cream together in the food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides, as needed. Add the eggs and melted chocolate then pulse until just incorporated and smooth. Pour the filling evenly over the crust and bake until the filling puffs slightly around the edges and just set in the center, about 20 minutes.
  • Mix the remaining cup of sour cream and 2/3 cup sugar with the creme de menthe and food coloring, if using. Carefully, spoon the mixture over the top of the chocolate and gently spread into an even layer. Bake until topping becomes glossy but is still a bit loose, about 15 minutes more. (The topping will set when cooled.) Cool on a rack. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Lift cheesecake out of the pan, cut into 2-inch squares, and top with chocolate curls.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using real butter, cream cheese, and chocolate.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These after-dinner mint cheesecakes are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. With a creamy mint filling and a chocolate cookie crust, these cheesecakes are the perfect way to end a meal.
