- 1 cup mint chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 18 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate wafer crumbs with the melted butter, stirring until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, mint chocolate chips, and peppermint extract.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it’s completely set.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter. Feel free to get creative with toppings and decorations, such as whipped cream and chocolate drizzles. For the best flavor, chill overnight before serving. Store the cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or crusts for variations.
