  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mint chocolate fudge sauce

For the Mint Chocolate Fudge Sauce:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For Decoration:

  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Prepare Crust: In a medium bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, then eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and mint chocolate fudge sauce until well combined.
  • Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  • Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare Mint Chocolate Fudge Sauce: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Mix in mint extract and let cool.
  • Prepare Frosting: Whip heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  • Frost and Garnish: Spread the frosting over the chilled cheesecake. Drizzle with mint chocolate fudge sauce and garnish with fresh mint leaves and chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • Ensure the cheesecake is completely cooled before refrigerating to avoid cracks.
