Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 teaspoons Mint extract
• 3 drops Green food coloring (optional)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 5

Add the sour cream, mint extract, and green food coloring (if using) to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until fully combined.

Step 6

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 7

Fold the mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the cheesecake pie in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 11

To make the ganache, place the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 12

Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).

Step 13

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2–3 minutes. Then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 14

Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled cheesecake pie and spread it evenly with a spatula. Let it set for 10–15 minutes in the fridge.

Step 15

Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Step 16

Slice and enjoy your Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Pie with Chocolate Ganache!
