12 ounces cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup creme de menthe liqueur
2 teaspoons white creme de cacao
1 (9 inch) prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust
4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
I doubled the recipe and added 4 eggs. The cheesecake took over an hour to cook but came out beautifully. I decorated the top with Chocolate Ganache and Whipped Cream. No one in my family is crazy about sour cream. Happy St Patrick's Day!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was the only dessert dish that was empty when we left! My family loved it!

I switched the amounts of cacao and mint (using mint flavoring rather than creme de menthe), and I made my own crust, and it came out very good.
A nice variation on grasshopper pie. I made my own crust (2C chocolate wafer crumbs, 2T sugar, 6T melted margarine) in a springform pan. I only had one pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, but it still turned out fine.
My family was not thrilled with this dessert. The mint was a little over-powering. I definitely will not try this again.
