Ingredients
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreo or chocolate graham crackers)
1/4 cup melted butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy cream (for the ganache)
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, mixing until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the mint cheesecake filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of heavy cream over low heat until warm. Remove from heat and stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly, then pour the ganache over the cheesecake layer.
-
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
-
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, mint leaves, or additional chocolate drizzle if desired.
