Delicious mini mint cheesecakes with a chocolate crust and a creamy mint filling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
- 3 tbsp butter melted

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- 2 eggs large,

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a mini cheesecake pan or a muffin tin lined with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the milk and peppermint extract and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to the batter and mix until evenly colored.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared crusts.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set and slightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and firm.
- To serve, remove the cheesecakes from the pan and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

I followed the steps but it came out to dry… what went wrong?
I don’t know if I did something wrong but mine turned out kinda weird. They didn’t fluff up like I expected!
I can’t trust this recipe – mint and chocolate? That’s strange. The bake time seems way off!
Minty and chocolaty, love it! Just can’t get enough!
Easy to make and sooo yummy! Perfect for dessert lovers! I had no chocolate crumbs, used Oreos instead. Delicious!!
I don’t know about using Oreos instead! Isn’t the chocolate flavor different? But I guess if it tasted good, why not! LOL!
Looks easy! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for the tip about Oreos! Yummy!
I don’t know about this one. Mint and cheese? Sounds gross. 😖 But I guess some people like weird flavors. 1 star for me.
Um, my cheesecakes didn’t set at all. I followed the recipe exactly, but they are more like puddles. 😕
This recipe is too complicated. Can’t I just buy a cheesecake? 🙄
You could buy one, but homemade is way better! Just take your time with it. 😄
I’m allergic to mint, can I use vanilla instead? Will it wreck the recipe?
Made this for my kids and they gobbled ’em up! Can I freeze these for later?
I never thought of putting mint in cheesecake! It’s a bit unusual but surprisingly great! 10/10 would eat again!
I totally agree! Mint adds a refreshing twist to cheesecake. Never thought of it either until I tried it last week. Yum!
They turned out green instead of mint color… did I use too much of that color stuff?
Delicious! My friends thought I bought them from a bakery. I need to keep this recipe close!
really really good!! easy recipe and it taste better than I thought! 🙂
I’m so glad you liked it! It’s one of my favorites too. 😊
Taste better than you thought? Really? I mean, it’s just cream cheese and cookies, right?
I don’t like mint in desserts, but my family loved this recipe.
That’s awesome your family loved it! More mint for them, I guess! I think I might give this a try despite not liking mint myself.
Mint in dessert is gross! How can they eat that? Cheesecake is already good without weird flavors!
These mini cheesecakes are simply delightful! The mint flavor is perfect for summer. Will make again!
Never made a cheesecake before, but this was easy and tasty! 🥳
Meh. I mean how can a cheesecake be mini? It’s like a muffin… disappointed.
These are too rich for my taste. My stomach hurts after one! Not bad, but not for me.
I totally get what you mean! They are pretty rich, but maybe try just a bite next time. Can’t waste good cheesecake, right?
These were delightful! Perfect minty flavor. Will make again!
So easy to make! I had all the ingredients already in my pantry. My kids loved them!
Why do u add the green coloring? It’s cheesecakes not a salad, lol.
I think the green just makes it festive! Mint is meant to be refreshing, right? 😊
I mean, it’s just a pop of color! It’s not like it’s gonna taste like grass or somethin’. Chill out! 😄
Very simple and tasted great! The kids had fun making these too.
How do you make them green? I added too much food dye and now they’re like weird green blobs. Still tasted good tho!
These mini cheesecakes are an absolute delight! The mint flavor is just right. I made them for a party and everyone loved them! ☺️
I don’t get why mint in cheesecake is a thing. Isn’t it supposed to be sweet and creamy? 🤔 Just seems weird to me.
I made these too! They were a hit at my family gathering. I used crushed Oreo instead of chocolate cookie crumbs, and it turned out great! 😋
Delicious with a touch of chocolate! I might add more peppermint next time, yum!
Is it supposed to turn green? mine is brown… what’s up? lol
