Equipment
- 1 Springform Pan A 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan is ideal for making cheesecakes. It has a removable bottom and a latch on the side, allowing you to easily remove the chilled cheesecake without disturbing its structure.
- 1 Mixing Bowls Have a few mixing bowls in various sizes to accommodate the different components of the cheesecake, such as the crust and the filling. Stainless steel or glass bowls work well for this purpose.
- 1 Electric Mixer An electric mixer, either a hand mixer or a stand mixer, is essential for achieving a smooth and creamy consistency in the filling. It makes the process easier and faster compared to manual mixing.
- 1 Spatula A rubber spatula or silicone spatula is useful for scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl and incorporating all the ingredients thoroughly. It ensures that no lumps or pockets of unmixed ingredients are left behind.
- 1 Food Processor To make the biscuit crust, you can either use a food processor to crush the biscuits into fine crumbs or place them in a sturdy ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they reach the desired consistency.

Notes
Softened Cream Cheese: Cream cheese that has been softened: Before using cream cheese in a recipe, it is crucial to be sure that it has been softened. This makes mixing simpler and guarantees a nice filling texture. A few hours prior to making the cheesecake, remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator to enable it to soften.
Mint Extract: Depending on your desire for mint flavor, change the amount of mint extract. Start with 1 teaspoon, then increase as needed. Before incorporating the crushed Mint Aero chocolate, taste the filling and adjust the amount of mint essence as necessary.
Green food coloring: It is optional and just for cosmetic purposes to use green food coloring. The cheesecake has a vivid green hue as a result. If you want a cheesecake that seems more natural, you can decide to leave it out.
Time Spent Chilling: The texture and flavor of the cheesecake will improve the longer it is chilled. The cheesecake should be chilled for at least 4 hours, but overnight chilling is preferred. This improves the cheesecake's creamy consistency and helps it set properly.
