Step-by-Step Instructions for Andes Mint Mini Cheesecakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and spray a mini cheesecake pan with nonstick baking spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, resembling wet sand. Press into the pan.
  3. Blend cream cheese and additional sugar until smooth. Add the egg, mint extract, and food coloring, mixing until combined.
  4. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crusts in the mini cheesecake pan, filling to about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly. Cool in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Melt chocolate chips, drizzle over each cheesecake, and top with chopped Andes mints.
  8. Once the chocolate sets, serve and enjoy the Andes Mint Mini Cheesecakes!
