# Instructions:
01 -
Process mint Oreos into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter. Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a springform pan. Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes. Cool completely before adding filling.
02 -
Wrap the outside of the springform pan with heavy-duty foil to ensure it is watertight, or use a silicone pan for added protection.
03 -
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and flour on low speed until smooth. Add sour cream, mint extract, and vanilla extract, mixing gently. Add eggs one at a time and mix until combined. The batter should be lump-free.
04 -
Pour one-third of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Sprinkle chopped Mint Oreos evenly, drizzle chocolate sauce, and cover with the remaining batter.
05 -
Place the pan into a larger roasting pan and fill with hot water to create a water bath. Bake at 300°F for 70-80 minutes until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
06 -
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 30 minutes. Crack the oven door and allow an additional 30 minutes of cooling. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
07 -
Pour warm chocolate ganache over the chilled cheesecake and spread evenly. Whip the cream with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to stiff peaks. Pipe decorative swirls and garnish with Oreo halves.
# Notes:
01 -
The cheesecake can be made up to 3 days in advance for convenience.
02 -
Allowing cream cheese to fully soften at room temperature ensures a smoother batter.
