• 1.5 cup Chocolate cookie crumbs

• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Mint extract
• 4 drop Green food coloring
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Whipped cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, mint extract, and green food coloring until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
6. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
7. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the pan.
8. Let the cheesecake cool completely on the wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
9. Serve chilled with whipped cream and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
