Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 9X9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Remove the refrigerated cookie dough from the package and with your fingers press it evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. The dough will be puffed but not fully baked. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Make the cheesecake filling in the meantime. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Stir in the flour. Add the coffee creamer and mint extract, if using, and stir to combine. Add the green food color and stir to combine. With the back of the spoon press the half-baked puffed cookie dough to release the air in the crust. Pour the cheesecake filling over it. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the center is just set. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour and refrigerate for few hours before cutting into bars. Before serving, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle the melted chocolate over the cheesecake bars.
Tips for Making Grasshopper Cheesecake Bars:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your cheesecake bars are delicious and flavorful. Look for fresh cream cheese, butter, and eggs. You should also use good-quality chocolate and mint extract.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients. If the cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and may cause the cheesecake bars to curdle.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can cause the cheesecake bars to be dense and crumbly. Mix the batter just until it is smooth and combined.
- Bake the cheesecake bars in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake bars from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water. The water should come halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
- Chill the cheesecake bars thoroughly before serving: This will help them to set properly. Chill the cheesecake bars for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
