  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar

Filling

  • 3 pkgs 8oz Cream Cheese
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp Creme de Menthe
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk at room temperature
  • 3/8 cup whipping cream 35% fat

Garnish

  • Heaving Chocolate Sundae Sauce
  • Chocolate Peppermint cups

Instructions

Crust

  • Crush the Mint Oreo Cookies in a food processor until crushed, add melted butter and sugar blend well
  • Press into your 7" spring form pan, that has been well greased and lined with parchment paper on the bottom.
  • Press up the sides just a bit
  • Put in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

Filling

  • With your handmixer, blend the cream cheese, sugar, creme de menthe and lemon zest until creamy.
  • Add the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, blending lightly.
  • Add the cream, and blend this by hand, just until it disappears
  • Pour the cream cheese filling onto the crust

Getting the Instant Pot Ready

  • Pour one cup of water into the bottom of the pot
  • Place the trivet in the bottom of the pot
  • Put the cheesecake on top of the trivet inside the pot
  • lay a piece of paper towel on top and lightly put a piece of aluminum foil on top of that
  • Close the pot and make sure the vent is set to 'seal'
  • Set the timer for Pressure cooking High for 40 minutes with a Natural Release of 15 minutes
  • Remove the cheesecake from the pot and let it sit on the trivet for one hour, keeping it covered
  • Refrigerate overnight before garnishing

Garnish

  • Pour your favorite chocolate sundae sauce around the top edge of the cheesecake. It will run down the sides and pool in the middle.
  • I piled extra Mint Oreo Cookie crumbs in the middle, and added whole and chopped Chocolate Mint Cups.
  • Enjoy!
