Question 1

HOW DO YOU PREVENT CHEESECAKE FROM CRACKING?

Accepted Answer

To prevent cheesecake from cracking, you must make sure the cheesecake does not go through drastic temperature changes. First, keep the oven door closed while the cheesecake is baking. Then, allow the cheesecake to cool in the turned off oven, until the oven is just warm. Finally, let the cheesecake cool at room temperature before putting it into the fridge to chill.

Question 2

CAN I USE MINT OREOS IN THIS CHEESECAKE?

Accepted Answer

You can definitely use mint Oreos in this cheesecake, however, the mint Oreos are a Double Stuf variety of Oreo. This means there is more filling in the Oreo, which throws off the oil ratio in the cheesecake. Therefore, if you do end up using mint Oreos, you should scrape out the filling from some of the Oreos (at least half of them) before adding them to the recipe.

Question 3

CAN MINT CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE BE MADE GLUTEN FREE?

Accepted Answer

Yes! To make a gluten-free mint chocolate cheesecake, simply use gluten-free Oreos.

Question 4

CAN I TOP THIS MINT CHEESECAKE WITH SOMETHING ELSE?

Accepted Answer

If you don't want to use hot fudge for your topping, you can always make some chocolate ganache! Pour 1 cup of chocolate chips (175g) into a small bowl, then heat in a small saucepan over medium heat ⅔ cup (160mL) of heavy whipping cream, whisking occasionally until steaming. Remove the cream from the heat and pour over the chocolate chips. Whisk the chocolate and the cream together until it it smooth. Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before pouring into the top of your chilled cheesecake.

Question 5

CAN I USE DIFFERENT COOKIES FOR THE CRUST?

Accepted Answer

You can use any kind of chocolate sandwich cookie you like, even Thin Mints if you have some leftover!
