CREME DE MENTHE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300F; have ready an ungreased 9-inch springform pan.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the two crust ingredients; mix well.
• Press in the bottom and up the sides of the pan; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer, beat cream cheese until it is fluffy; slowly beat in sugar, beating until smooth.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Stir in the cream and liqueur until well blended, then pour into the crust-lined springform pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until the edges are set, but the centre jiggles ever so slightly when the pan is gently shaken.
• Turn oven off and leave the oven door open at least four inches; let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the centre now appears set.
• Remove from oven and place on a wire rack on your counter for one hour, or until completely cooled.
• Cover, then refrigerate for at least three hours before serving.
• Just before serving, carefully run a table knife around the edges of the crust to loosen, then carefully remove the sides of the pan.
• If desired, garnish individual servings with whipped cream and a crumbled or chopped chocolate mint (the kind that has the green stripe).

ANDES CREME DE MENTHE CHEESECAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix crumbs and butter and pat into bottom of greased 9 inch springform pan. Bake for 5 minutes. While crust is baking, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, only until mixed. Do not overbeat mixture with the eggs in it. Stir in 1/2 pkg of baking chips. Pour on top of crust and bake 50-60 minutes or until cheesecake is very lightly brown around the edges and the inside is almost set. Let cool at room temp for 15 minutes. Slide a knife around the edge and remove springform ring. Cool in refrigerator overnight. Mix half of the remaining baking chips with cream. Melt in microwave and stir until smooth. Mixture will be very runny. Spread a very thin layer on top of cheesecake and sprinkle remaining andes chips on top. This thin layer hardens quickly. I find that it works good to cut the cheesecake into pieces before putting the top layer and garnish on. Otherwise the thin chocolate layer breaks up into pieces as you are cutting the cheesecake.
