- Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and firm.
- To serve, remove the cheesecakes from the pan and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

I followed the steps but it came out to dry… what went wrong?
Minty and chocolaty, love it! Just can’t get enough!
Easy to make and sooo yummy! Perfect for dessert lovers! I had no chocolate crumbs, used Oreos instead. Delicious!!
I don’t know about using Oreos instead! Isn’t the chocolate flavor different? But I guess if it tasted good, why not! LOL!
Looks easy! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for the tip about Oreos! Yummy!
I don’t know about this one. Mint and cheese? Sounds gross. 😖 But I guess some people like weird flavors. 1 star for me.
Um, my cheesecakes didn’t set at all. I followed the recipe exactly, but they are more like puddles. 😕
This recipe is too complicated. Can’t I just buy a cheesecake? 🙄
You could buy one, but homemade is way better! Just take your time with it. 😄
Made this for my kids and they gobbled ’em up! Can I freeze these for later?
I never thought of putting mint in cheesecake! It’s a bit unusual but surprisingly great! 10/10 would eat again!
I totally agree! Mint adds a refreshing twist to cheesecake. Never thought of it either until I tried it last week. Yum!
They turned out green instead of mint color… did I use too much of that color stuff?
I don’t like mint in desserts, but my family loved this recipe.
That’s awesome your family loved it! More mint for them, I guess! I think I might give this a try despite not liking mint myself.
Mint in dessert is gross! How can they eat that? Cheesecake is already good without weird flavors!
Never made a cheesecake before, but this was easy and tasty! 🥳
These are too rich for my taste. My stomach hurts after one! Not bad, but not for me.
I totally get what you mean! They are pretty rich, but maybe try just a bite next time. Can’t waste good cheesecake, right?
These were delightful! Perfect minty flavor. Will make again!
Why do u add the green coloring? It’s cheesecakes not a salad, lol.
I think the green just makes it festive! Mint is meant to be refreshing, right? 😊
I mean, it’s just a pop of color! It’s not like it’s gonna taste like grass or somethin’. Chill out! 😄
Very simple and tasted great! The kids had fun making these too.
How do you make them green? I added too much food dye and now they’re like weird green blobs. Still tasted good tho!
These mini cheesecakes are an absolute delight! The mint flavor is just right. I made them for a party and everyone loved them! ☺️
I don’t get why mint in cheesecake is a thing. Isn’t it supposed to be sweet and creamy? 🤔 Just seems weird to me.
I made these too! They were a hit at my family gathering. I used crushed Oreo instead of chocolate cookie crumbs, and it turned out great! 😋
