Time & Servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes including cooling and chilling
Servings: 16 bars
菱 Ingredients
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs about 24 cookies
1/4 cup melted butter
3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
4 drops green food coloring
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325F 163C. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the heavy cream, mint extract, and green food coloring until fully combined and evenly colored.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking dish.
Drop spoonfuls of the melted chocolate over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife to swirl the chocolate into the cheesecake mixture, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.
Pro Tip:
For an extra festive touch, top the bars with a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candies or a drizzle of chocolate ganache before serving.
