Ingredients
-
1½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
16 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
2 teaspoons mint extract (not peppermint)
-
1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
1. Make the Chocolate Cookie Crust
-
In a mixing bowl, combine cookie crumbs with melted butter.
-
Stir until evenly moistened and crumbly.
-
Press mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch pie dish.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
2. Prepare the Mint Cheesecake Filling
-
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and mint extract until smooth and lump-free.
-
Fold in the whipped cream gently until the filling becomes light and airy.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake Pie
-
Once the crust has set, spread the mint cheesecake filling evenly over the crust.
-
Smooth the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
4. Make the Chocolate Swirl Topping
-
Melt chocolate chips and vegetable oil together (microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between).
-
Once melted and smooth, drizzle over the cheesecake in thin lines.
-
Use a toothpick or butter knife to gently swirl the chocolate for a marbled look.
5. Chill the Pie
-
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
-
For best results, chill overnight to let the flavors develop and the filling firm up.
6. Slice and Serve
-
Cut into wedges with a warm, clean knife for neat slices.
-
Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
-
For cleaner cuts, dip your knife in hot water between slices.
-
You can also top with extra whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped mint chocolates before serving.
