How to Make Lucky Mint Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/3 cup (75g) of sweetened condensed milk. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Spread evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch graham cracker crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) of cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the remaining 2/3 cup (150g) of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract, and 2-4 drops of green food coloring (adjust to desired intensity).
  5. Add 1 large egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Carefully pour the mint mixture over the chocolate layer in the pie crust.
  7. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The edges will be set, but the center might still have a slight jiggle.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
  11. Before serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup in a zig-zag pattern, or your favorite design!
