1/4 cup white crème de menthe
10 drops green food color
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
1/3 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Wrap outside bottom and side of 9-inch springform pan with heavy-duty foil to prevent leaking. Spray inside bottom and side of pan with cooking spray.

Let cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes. Run small metal spatula around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Run small metal spatula around edge of pan; carefully remove side of pan. Place chocolate chips in small heatproof bowl. In 1-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave 1/3 cup whipping cream on High about 1 minute or until hot. Pour over chocolate chips. Let stand 2 minutes; stir until smooth.
