How to Make Creme De Menthe Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Prepare a 9-inch ungreased springform pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine crust ingredients (see below). Mix until well combined.
  4. Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  6. Gradually add sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be sure not to overmix.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and creme de menthe until just combined.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when the pan is gently shaken.
  11. Turn off the oven and leave the oven door ajar (at least 4 inches) for 30 minutes.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
  14. Before serving, carefully run a thin knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Remove the sides of the springform pan.
  15. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate mint shavings (optional).
