This always looks so fresh and ... minty 🙂 It could be made gluten free by using a gluten-free cookie crust, or nuts with cocoa.

 3 ¼ cups chocolate wafer crumbs
 ¼ cup butter, melted
Filling
 3 pkgs cream cheese
 ¾ cup sugar
 3 eggs
 ⅓ cup green creme de menthe liqueur or 3/4 tsp mint extract with 10 drops green food colouring
 3 squares white chocolate, melted
 1 frosted mint chocolate bar or fresh mint (for garnish)
1

Heat oven to 325º. Combine first two ingredients and press onto bottom and 2" up sides of 9" pan.

2

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time until just blended. Beat in liqueur and white chocolate. Pour over crust.

3

Bake 50 minutes or until centre is just set. Cool thoroughly at room temperature and chill overnight. Garnish with curls of chocolate bar made with vegetable peeler, or sprigs of fresh mint.
