How To Make Chocolate Mint Cheesecake Mousse
Start out by melting your white chocolate chips according to the package directions. I usually place them in a glass bowl, heat on high for 1 minute, then heat for 30 seconds, stirring in between.
Mix your melted chocolate chips, softened cream cheese, mint extract and powdered sugar until well blended.
Beat the whipping cream on high using a standing mixer for 4 minutes. Now, fold in the whipped cream with the cheesecake mixture.
In a mixing bowl, stir together crushed Oreos and
Tips:
- Make sure you use full-fat heavy whipping cream.

This stuff is incredible, I loved it, my boyfriend, my daughter, so did my neighbors and best friend and her husband! It’s easy if you have a mixer but by hand it’s super rough to make. The flavor is great and not as rich as you’d think. My daughter is actually making it for the second time right now. Highly recommend if you like mint chocolate!!
can this be made ahead and frozen without the garnish?
This looks great. Will be trying it.
