Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUST
30 fudge mint cookies, crushed (about 1 3/4 cups)
2 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
FILLING
4 oz semisweet baking chocolate
3 pkg (8oz. each) cream cheese
1 c sugar
4 eggs
1/3 c green crème de menthe liqueur
TOPPING:
SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM
CRèME DE MENTHE THIN RECTANGULAR CANDIES FOR GARNISH, UNWRAPPED AND CUT IN HALF DIAGONALLY

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350ºF. Wrap foil around bottom and side of ungreased 9 inch springform pan. In a large bowl, mix crust ingredients with fork until crumbly. Press in bottom and up sides of springform pan. About 1 inch up sides. Bake 12 minutes and then cool 30 minutes.
  • 2. In small microwaveable bowl, mirowave chocolate on High 45 to 50 seconds increments, stirring until melted. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl frequentlyl, until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Stir in Liqueur. Pour filling evenly over crust.
  • 4. Drop 8 to 10 tablespoons melted chocolate randomly onto filling, allowing chocolate to sink into filling. With table knife or small spatula, cut through chocolate and filling to swirl for marbled design.
  • 5. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes or until set 2 inches from edge of pan. Remove from oven; run knife around side of cheesecake to loosen. Return to oven; turn oven off and open door slightly. Cool cheesecake in oven 1 hour. Remove from oven to cooling rack; cool at room temp. 1 hour. Refrigerate 3 hours or over night.
  • 6. NOTE: I use Andes Crème de Menthe cookies crushed up for the crust.

This cheesecake is a must-try! The grasshopper flavor is unique and delicious, and the chocolate crust is the perfect complement. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves cheesecake.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. The cheesecake was good, but not amazing. The crust was a bit too thick and the filling was a bit too sweet. I would try a different recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was curdled. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cheesecake was good, but not great. The crust was a bit too dry and the filling was a bit too dense. I would try a different recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too minty for my taste, but my friends loved it. The crust was nice and crumbly, and the filling was creamy and smooth. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who loves mint.

I'm not a big fan of mint, but this cheesecake was still really good. The chocolate flavor was strong and the crust was perfect. I would definitely make this again, but maybe without the mint next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this recipe changed my mind! The grasshopper flavor was so refreshing and light, and the crust was perfectly crumbly. I'll definitely be making this again for my next party.
