    No Bake Mint Chocolate Cheesecake consists of three layers. Oreo crust, mint cheesecake and chocolate cheesecake. All no bake and easy to make.

    I love mint and chocolate as a flavour combination.

    The fresh peppermint cuts through the richness of the chocolate creating a perfect balance in flavours.

    For this cheesecake recipe, we layer the two flavours just to for something a bit different.

    We start with a crushed Oreo base and then top that with a mint flavoured cheesecake filling.

    Then on top of the mint flavoured filling, we have the chocolate flavoured cheesecake filling. Finally, it's drizzled with a mint chocolate ganache.

    The mint chocolate cheesecake is no bake and does not use gelatin. This means there are a few tricks needed to ensure the cheesecake sets properly.

    How to Make The Cheesecake

    • Use full fat cream cheese. Low fat cream cheese is runnier and doesn't set as hard.
    • Use heavy whipping cream and whip until stiff. The cheesecake mixture should be stiff and look almost set before you even place it in the fridge.

    Ingredients

    Oreo Base;

    • 28 Oreos, Crushed (266g)
    • ¼ Cup Butter, Melted (55g)

    Cheesecake Filling;

    • 3 Cups Cream Cheese, Room Temperature (750g)
    • 1 Cup Icing Sugar (125g)
    • 1 Cup Cream (250ml)
    • 1-2 teaspoon Peppermint Essence
    • ¾ Cup Dark Chocolate, Melted (135g)
    • ¼ Cup Cream (62ml)

    Ganache;

    • ¼ Cup Cream (62ml)
    • ½ Cup Dark Chocolate (90g)
    • ½ teaspoon Peppermint Essence
    Metric - US Conventional

    Instructions

    • Line a 20cm round baking pan with non stick paper or grease with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
    • Crush the Oreos and mix with the melted butter. Press into the base of the prepared pan and place in the fridge while you make your cheesecake filling.

    Cheesecake Filling;

    • Melt the dark chocolate and ¼ cup of cream together in a saucepan until smooth.
    • Set aside in the fridge to cool completely.
    • Beat the softened cream cheese until no lumps remain.
    • Beat in the icing sugar until smooth.
    • Add in the 1 cup cream and beat until thick and stiff.
    • Split the mixture into two bowls.
    • To one bowl add melted dark chocolate and cream and mix together.
    • To the other add the peppermint essence. (How much essence you use is up to personal taste. I used 1 and ½ teaspoon personally but you could use less or more depending on how minty you like your desserts).
    • Pour the peppermint layer over the Oreo Crust and spread in an even layer.
    • Repeat with the chocolate layer and place in the fridge for at least four hours but preferably overnight.

    Ganache;

    • Make the mint chocolate ganache before serving.
    • Place the dark chocolate in a medium bowl.
    • In a saucepan on a medium heat, bring the cream nearly to the boil.
    • Remove the cream from the heat and pour over the dark chocolate.
    • Stir together until smooth and glossy.
    • Add in the mint essence.
    • Slice the cheesecake and drizzle over the mint chocolate ganache before serving.
    • The cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
