Peppermint Chip Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) package thin mint cookies, crushed (I used Keebler Grasshopper Fudge Mint Cookies) ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted ⓘ
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened ⓘ
- 3/4 cup sugar ⓘ
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch ⓘ
- 3 eggs ⓘ
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream ⓘ
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract ⓘ
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract ⓘ
- 3 -4 drops green food coloring (optional) ⓘ
Instructions
- Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and cornstarch until smooth; lightly beat eggs and egg yolk, add to cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed just until combined; stir in the cream, extracts and food coloring; fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour into crust (the mixture will come up above the edge of the cookie crust and that's OK) and place the pan on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until the center is almost set; cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer then cover and chill overnight.
- Remove sides of pan to serve and refrigerate any leftovers.
