  1. Fabulous recipe that I have made 3 years in a row now for each Christmas!! I substitute Peppermint Extract for the Vanilla extract, to add a stronger mint flavor, which I love. I recommend this to everyone that is a fan of Chocolate Mint!
     
  2. I made this for a coworker's birthday and it was a huge hit. The only change I made is that I made an oreo crust by greasing the pan and pressing down food processed oreo crumbs. I baked this for 8 minutes and proceeded as directed. Thanks! This was easy and made me look like a master chef:)
     
  3. I added cocoa powder to the cheesecake filling to make it chocolate mint. For the topping, I used heavy whipping cream and sugar and garnished with dusted on cocoa powder and chopped Andes mints. I also used peppermint flavor in the filling rather than vanilla.

Tweaks

  1. I tweaked a bit by adding mint alcohol till it turned a nice minty green.
     
  2. See the description. I tweaked a lot. It was my first time doing the recipe, and I am sure it is fine as is. I am just a huge recipe-tweaker at heart.
