Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 Chocolate Oreo Pie Crusts
- 12 Mint Oreo Cookies (for crust mix)
Filling
- 24 Mint Oreo Cookies (or Girl Scout Thin Mints, divided)
- 3 packages cream cheese, softened (8 ounce each)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounce)
- 5 drops green food coloring
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 12 ounce Cool Whip (thawed, divided)
Topping
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 5 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Crush Mint Oreos: In a ziploc bag, crush the mint Oreo cookies, keeping them slightly chunky. Set aside for texture in the filling.
- Mix Filling Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk for about 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Then beat in the green food coloring and mint extract, ensuring the color and flavor are evenly distributed.
- Add Cool Whip and Cookies: Gently fold in 12 ounces of the thawed Cool Whip and the crushed mint Oreos, mixing carefully to maintain the light and airy texture. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared chocolate Oreo pie crusts.
- Prepare Chocolate Topping: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream for 30 seconds. Stir well and continue heating in 15-second increments until the mixture is smooth. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before spreading evenly over the top of each cheesecake.
- Chill Cheesecakes: Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to let the flavors meld and the filling set firmly before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
- You can substitute Mint Oreos with Girl Scout Thin Mints if available.
- Chill the cheesecakes overnight for a firmer texture and enhanced flavor.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate topping to avoid burning.
- Try garnishing with extra crushed Oreos or mint leaves for presentation.
