Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (from 9-oz. pkg.)
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup green crème de menthe
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
8 thin chocolate and green mints, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300°F. In medium bowl, combine crust ingredients; mix well. Press in bottom and up sides of ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
  • Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 3/4 cup whipping cream and crème de menthe until well blended. Pour into crust-lined pan.
  • Bake at 300°F. for 60 to 70 minutes or until edges are set but center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken. Turn oven off; open oven door at least 4 inches. Let cheesecake sit in oven for 30 minutes or until center is set.
  • Remove cheesecake from oven. Cool in pan on wire rack for 1 hour or until completely cooled. Cover; refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Just before serving, carefully run knife around sides of pan to loosen; remove sides of pan. In small bowl, beat 1/2 cup whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon whipped cream around edge of cheesecake. Garnish with chopped mints. Store in refrigerator.

This cheesecake was a disaster. The crust was soggy and the filling was curdled.

I had high hopes for this cheesecake, but I was disappointed. The mint flavor was too strong and the cheesecake was too dense.
