Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Chocolate shavings or mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and peppermint extract, mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the mint chocolate filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top and swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
- Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with chocolate shavings or mint leaves if desired. Slice and enjoy your delicious No-Bake Mint Chocolate Cheesecake!
