Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Base
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
Mint Chocolate
- 1 cup Andes mint chocolates, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- Add Mint Chocolate: Fold in the chopped Andes mint chocolates gently into the cheesecake batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Pour the batter into a prepared 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Chill the Cheesecake: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set fully.
- Serve: Carefully remove the springform pan sides before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional Andes mint chocolates for presentation.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest batter.
- Do not overbake to avoid cracks in the cheesecake.
- Chilling overnight improves the flavor and texture considerably.
- For an extra minty taste, add a teaspoon of peppermint extract.
- Allow chopped Andes mints to be roughly chopped to give varied texture in the cheesecake.
