Carefully spoon remaining batter over top. Place springform pan in a larger baking pan; add 1 in. hot water to larger pan., Bake until center is just set and top appears dull, 75-80 minutes. Remove springform pan from water bath. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife; remove foil. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled. , Remove rim from pan. Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick spray and line with foil.
• Pulse the cookies in a food processor with the butter, sugar, and salt to make a fine crust. Evenly press the crust into the prepared pan taking care to cover the bottom completely. Bake until the crust sets, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl; heat at 75 percent power until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir, and continue to microwave until completely melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
• Blend the cream cheese, 2/3 cup of the sugar, and 1/2 cup of the sour cream together in the food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides, as needed. Add the eggs and melted chocolate then pulse until just incorporated and smooth. Pour the filling evenly over the crust and bake until the filling puffs slightly around the edges and just set in the center, about 20 minutes.
• Mix the remaining cup of sour cream and 2/3 cup sugar with the creme de menthe and food coloring, if using. Carefully, spoon the mixture over the top of the chocolate and gently spread into an even layer. Bake until topping becomes glossy but is still a bit loose, about 15 minutes more. (The topping will set when cooled.) Cool on a rack. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Crush the digestive biscuits to your preference and slowy add in the melted butter. Again the butter is to your preference. The more butter to more your base will stay together
• Line the tin with cling film as this helps get the cheesecake out easy when it is set. Cover the base of the tin with the crushed biscuit mix.
• Mix together the Philadelphia Soft Cheese Cadbury Chocolate and the icing sugar.
• Whip the whipping cream and then add it to the mixture.
• Grate the 2 Aero bars. Add about 3/4 of it to the mixture and mix together.

Steps:

• Melt butter and add to biscuit (cookie) crumbs and cocoa.
• Press into the bottom (no need to do sides) of a foil (2 sheets) covered pan, I use a round 9" pan, chill until ready for filling.
• Beat cream cheese until soft then very slowly add condensed milk, beating as you add so it doesn't go lumpy.
• Add lemon juice and beat until smooth, pour into prepared pan, it should be reasonably thick once juice is added.
• Chill until set, then freeze for an hour - this makes it easy to remove from pan and to decorate, then place on serving plate.
• Melt about 8 mints with a tiny amount of the cream, I use the microwave on very low setting for about 15 to 30seconds (the cream is added so it won't be too hard to spread), you could use more mints here, just allow enough mints for decoration, spread melted mints over very cold cheescake.
• Spread enough whipped cream on top to cover the chocolate mint, smooth top and pipe the rest around the edges if you wish - I like to run a fork across top in lines so the chocolate shows through.
• Arrange mints, halved diagonally, around the top edge of cake or decorate as you wish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat cake mix and butter with an electric mixer on low speed in a bowl until crumbly, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside 1 cup for topping.
• Press remaining crumb mixture into bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
• Place in preheated oven and bake until edges begin to crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
• Beat cream cheese and frosting with an electric mixer on medium speed in a bowl until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Drop eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture and beat until blended, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour in 6 drops green food coloring, or more for a darker color; beat until color is blended, about 2 minutes.
• Beat in creme de menthe candy flavoring until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes. Taste and add more flavoring if needed.
• Pour batter over the chocolate crust in the 9x13 pan.
• Sprinkle 1 cup reserved crumb mixture over cheesecake batter.
• Top with 1 cup chocolate and mint morsels; reserve remaining morsels for finishing touches.
• Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until set, 42 to 45 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and cool completely.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Pour reserved chocolate and mint morsels into a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave morsels in 45 second intervals; stir until completely melted and smooth.
• Pour melted chocolate into a resealable plastic bag.
• Clip a small bottom corner of the bag. Gently squeezing the bag, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cake through the clipped corner.
• Cut cake into bars to serve.

Steps:

• Gather refrigerated ingredients on the counter to bring to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the cake mix and oil. Press on the bottom of a 9" springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes or until set. (if making cupcakes, bake for only a couple minutes and press into liners lightly). Set aside.
• Turn down oven to 275 degrees F. Place a pan half filled with water on the lowest rack.
• Beat cream cheese until fluffy on lowest speed. Gradually incorporate sugar, extract, and food coloring. One at a time, add the eggs, beating after each addition. Beat in flour until incorporated and stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour batter into cheesecake pan. Drop the pan on the table repeatedly to release air bubbles and draw a sharp knife around in the batter to draw up air bubbles.
• Bake for about an hour (if cupcake-sized, check after about 30 minutes). Do NOT open the oven door until the end of baking. To check if done, carefully move the pan. If the sides look firm and the center wobbles, the cheesecake is done. Turn off the oven heat and leave the cheesecake in the oven to cool with the door propped open. After an hour or so, let the cheesecake cool on the counter. When the sides of the pan are cool, put the cheesecake in the refrigerator. Do NOT cover the cheesecake (condensation will gather and drop water on top). A full-size cheesecake will be chilled enough to eat the next day, cupcakes can be eaten the same day once chilled.
• To decorate, melt the chocolate and mix with the corn syrup. Place inside a plastic bag, and cut a tiny hole into the corner of the bag. Pipe onto the cheesecake.
• To cut, run a sharp knife under hot water and wipe dry. Do this each time you cut a slice to get clean slices.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Mix cookie crumbs, 1 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 min.

• Bake 40 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.

Steps:

• Line a springform tin and grease.
• Melt the butter in a pan.
• Crush the Milk Chocolate Digestives and add to the melted Butter. Stir until the mixture has been coated by the Butter and the Chocolate has melted.
• Add the Digestive mixture to the tin and cover the bottom, pressing firm so the base is even and compressed. Leave to one side.
• In a large bowl add the Mascarpone, Icing sugar, the Mint Chocolate and the Coca powder and stir till the mixture is even. Add the crushed Aero bits so they are even throughout the mixture.
• Add the Mascarpone mixture to the tin, making sure the top is even. Decorate with Mint Chocolates i.e. more crushed Aeros, After Eights or melted chocolate.
• Place in the fridge to set and chill.

Steps:

• For the crust, mix flour, cocoa, and 3 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl. Stir in oil and water until well blended. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of a well-greased 8 inch springform cake pan.
• Place baking chocolate and 4 tablespoons sugar in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and continue heating until chocolate is completely melted. Add butter, and heat for another 30 seconds. Stir, and spread over bottom of the crust. Refrigerate or freeze crust while preparing filling.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese to soften. Add white chocolate syrup and flour, and stir until well blended. Add one egg at a time until all are just incorporated into the mixture. Set aside.
