This is a super simple cheescake that tastes like it took hours to make. I made my own graham cracker crust instead a store bought one. I added mint essence to the ganche topping as well as to the cheesecake mix itself. When it was glazed, I sprinkled Andes mint chips over the top for extra flavor and decoration. it was a huge hit! Thanks, Kittencall. I can always rely on you for an amazing recipe. -
Absolutely amazing!! Perfect for anyone who loves both mint chocolate chip ice cream and cheesecake. Made for a friend's birthday and had several requests for the recipe. -
Huge success at Thanksgiving, the family requested it for Christmas!! -
WOW!!! I made this for a church Soup and Pie supper. All I can say is fantastic! It was so simple to make but the taste is like something you slaved away at. I made two pies, and several people were disappointed when they went to the pie table and found the pie tins empty. The pastor's wife asked if I would make a couple more for a ladies function in March. I will definite make this again! -
My daughter's favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip, and I was suprised that Cheesecake Factory did not have this flavor on their menu when we went there for her birthday. So I suprised her later by making one for her instead! This was very good and rich! I used a homemade Oreo pie crust instead of a purchased crust. I also added more green food coloring for a deeper color.
