How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Pie With Chocolate Ganache

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces (2 packages) of cream cheese and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring until evenly combined. (Start with less food coloring and add more as needed to reach your desired shade of green.)
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in ¾ cup mini chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture into your prepared pie crust (9-inch).
  7. Place the filled pie crust on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is almost set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  10. While the cheesecake cools, prepare the ganache: In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup heavy cream.
  11. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  12. Pour the ganache over the cooled cheesecake, spreading evenly.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set completely.
  14. Store leftover pie in the refrigerator.
