Ingredients
Scale
24 Oreo cookies, crushed
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 tsp mint extract
Green food coloring (optional)
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream, mint extract, and green food coloring (if using). Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Place the pan in a water bath and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still jiggly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour, then cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Assemble the Cake: Remove the cheesecake from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Smooth whipped cream or frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
- Make the Chocolate Drip: Heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped chocolate, let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Let cool slightly, then drip the chocolate over the edges of the cake and spread the rest on top.
- Decorate: Add whipped cream swirls, extra chocolate chips, or crushed Oreos on top for decoration.
Notes
- The cheesecake can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To freeze, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
