15 Ingredients and Directions of Chocolate Fudge-Mint Cheesecake Recipe ...

By Maria

This cake has the right amount and touch of mint that melts in the mouth with nothing but minty goodness and a texture of soft chocolate like silk, a taste that is so excellent and unforgettable. This is extremely exceptional; the mint cookie crust, cream de le menthe and the cream cheese in the cake are excellent together. Though it was a bit time consuming, it is worth the time and effort. The chocolate makes the cream cheese so smooth and creamy while the mint completes the taste experience with a lightness that only mint can do.
