What You Need

2-1/2 cups Oreo Baking Crumbs

1/2 cup butter, melted

4 pkg. (250 g each) Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

3 to 4 drops green food colouring

1 tsp. mint extract

4 eggs

16 Oreo Cookies, cut into quarters, divided

3 oz. Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

MIX crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan.

BEAT cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gradually add food colouring until cream cheese mixture is of desired colour. Blend in mint extract. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour half of the batter over crust. Remove 16 of the cookie quarters; set aside for garnish. Spread remaining cookie quarters evenly over batter in pan; cover with the remaining batter.

BAKE 40 to 50 min. or until centre is almost set. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Cut into 16 slices to serve. Top each slice with 1 of the reserved cookie quarters. Drizzle with melted chocolate just before serving. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

1 teaspoon of mint extract was not enough for a nice mint flavour. I would recommend using 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons. Also 8 to 10 drops of green food colouring is needed for a nice mint green colour.

Made this recipe for my "Oreo-mad" daughter's birthday party. It was such a hit I thought the girls would swoon! I did change it up a bit -- making a no-bake cheesecake (whipped cream topping and cream cheese) instead of a baked one but the rest of the recipe stayed the same.

This was really good. I was never really a big fan of cheese cakes, but mint flavored desserts I love. This was perfect!!

Awesome recipe! Really rich! I think next time I get adventurous and make this one I'm going to crush the cookies up instead of using quarters. It was a great hit with everyone who tried it!
