# Instructions:
01 -
Process mint Oreos into fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a springform pan. Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely before filling.
02 -
Wrap the outside of your springform pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Ensure the foil covers all sides without tears or holes, or use a silicone pan for added security.
03 -
On low speed, beat cream cheese, sugar, and flour until smooth (2-3 minutes). Scrape down the bowl between additions. Blend in sour cream, mint extract, and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each. Ensure the batter is smooth without lumps.
04 -
Spread one-third of the batter over the cooled crust. Sprinkle chopped Mint Oreos on top, then drizzle with chocolate sauce. Cover with the remaining batter, ensuring an even top layer.
05 -
Place the springform pan into a roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan so it reaches halfway up the springform pan sides. Bake at 300°F for 70-80 minutes until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
06 -
Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool inside with the door closed for 30 minutes. Crack the oven door and cool for another 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight until firm.
07 -
Spread warm ganache over the chilled cheesecake. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to stiff peaks. Pipe decorative swirls and garnish with halved Oreos. Refrigerate until serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature for a silky texture. This step takes about 2 hours.
02 -
The slow cooling process prevents cracks in the cheesecake surface.
