Ingredients:
– 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
– 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
– For decoration: Whipped cream, Mint leaves, Chocolate shavings.
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and mint extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
6. Prepare the Fudge Topping: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the dark chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until melted and smooth.
7. Add the Fudge Layer: Once the cheesecake has cooled, pour the fudge topping over the top, spreading it evenly.
8. Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
9. Decorate and Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream, mint leaves, and chocolate shavings for a beautiful presentation. Slice and enjoy this decadent mint chocolate fudge cheesecake cake!
