Notes
- Crushing your cookies in a food processor gives the crust a consistent texture that feels extra polished.
- Using room temperature full fat cream cheese creates a smoother filling with fewer lumps.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract with the mint extract for a more complex flavor.
- Substitute regular Oreo cookies or even gluten-free ones for mint Oreos.
- Add swirls of chocolate sauce or melted chocolate on top.
- Pop the cheesecake in the freezer for 20 minutes before you slice it for cleaner edges and a firmer texture.
