Ingredients

For the No-Bake Oreo Crust:

  • 25 Mint Oreos
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 2 packets (2 ½ teaspoons each) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 6 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup dark cocoa powder
  • 12 teaspoons mint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Optional Garnish:

  • Stabilized whipped cream
  • Andes Mints
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Prepare the No-Bake Oreo Crust:

  • Finely crush the Mint Oreos using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  • In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter and mix until well combined.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer.
  • Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:

  • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom.
  • Microwave the mixture for 20-30 seconds until the gelatin is fully dissolved and liquid. Set aside.

3. Make the Cheesecake Base:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, milk, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour in the dissolved gelatin and mix until well combined.

4. Flavor the Cheesecake Mixture:

  • Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly into two bowls.
  • In one bowl, stir in dark cocoa powder to create the chocolate layer.
  • In the other bowl, add mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring (if using) to create the mint layer.

5. Create the Zebra Pattern:

  • Remove the crust from the refrigerator.
  • Alternately spoon dollops of the chocolate and mint mixtures onto the center of the crust.
  • Continue layering, allowing the previous spoonful to spread outward naturally.
  • To enhance the zebra effect, gently swirl the top layer with a skewer for a marbled finish.

6. Chill the Cheesecake:

  • Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.

7. Garnish and Serve:

  • Before serving, decorate the cheesecake with stabilized whipped cream, Andes Mints, and fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.
  • Slice and enjoy this decadent, creamy cheesecake!

Notes

  • If you prefer a firmer cheesecake, allow it to chill overnight.
  • For a stronger mint flavor, increase the mint extract slightly.
  • Use agar-agar instead of gelatin for a vegetarian alternative.
