Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 lb cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup green creme de menthe
3 tablespoons Creme de Cacao
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
1 cup sour cream
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated to garnish the top of the cake

Steps:

  • CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUMB CRUST: Combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and cinnamon.
  • Toss and mix well.
  • Press into the bottom and partially up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • CHEESE FILLING: Put the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat until light and soft.
  • Add 3/4 cup of the sugar and mix well.
  • Stir in the creme de menthe, creme de cacao, flour and salt.
  • Beat until the mixture is blended well.
  • Add the egg yolks and sour cream, and beat until the batter is smooth and blended.
  • In a different bowl, combine the egg whites and 1/4 cup remaining sugar and beat until the whites stand in soft peaks.
  • Fold the beaten whites into the cream-cheese mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the crust and bake for about 1 hour, or until the cake has puffed and trembles just slightly when shaken.
  • A wooden skewer inserted in the cake should come out almost clean, with just a trace of batter or moist crumbs on it.
  • Don't overbake; it will settle and firm somewhat as it cools.
  • Don't worry if the cake cracks as it bakes.
  • Remove and cool.
  • Refrigerate if standing more than 4 hours.
  • Garnish the top with grated chocolate.
  • ENJOY!

I'm not a big fan of mint, but I really enjoyed this cheesecake. The chocolate and cream cheese flavors were perfect together.

This cheesecake was a little too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I would try it again with less cream cheese.

This cheesecake was a little too minty for my taste, but it was still good. I would try it again with less mint extract.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
