Folks, thanks for dropping into Neil's Healthy Meals for another one of my famous cheesecake recipes.
Let me just do the usual disclaimer here for our new friends who might be wondering why such a sumptuous cheesecake is found on a quick healthy meals website!
Here at Neil's Healthy Meals I promote and advocate the 80/20 rule for eating.
The rule means that for as long as you eat healthily for 80% of the time and have a regular exercise routine, then for the other 20% of the time you can afford to indulge in indulgent pleasures. Just like this amazing mint chocolate chip cheesecake!
OK, so with the explanation / disclaimer over and done with, let’s get on with chatting about cheesecake shall we?
So you folks love my no bake cheesecakes.
And I know because they are rarely out of my most popular posts or most pinned recipes.
No bake desserts are my favourite to make. They're quick and easy and also the perfect make ahead treat.
I think it's because like me you have a busy life and when you need a great dessert that doesn't take too much effort, an easy no bake cheesecake is the best option to turn to.
So today, let me introduce you to the latest addition to our growing cheesecake family. This utterly mouthwatering mint chocolate chip cheesecake!
This is the ultimate mint cheesecake for ending those hot summer days, perhaps served at the end of your BBQ party.
Just like how you might serve a big serving of mint chocolate chip ice cream to your guests, to cleanse the palate.
But this time you've something really special to impress those dinner guests with!
How To Make This No Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
- We start off by preparing a rich dark crunchy chocolate biscuit base. I've used chocolate bourbon biscuits but if you can't get them then similar dark chocolate biscuits will do.
- On top of that base is gently placed the creamy minty tasting sweet cheesecake mixture.
- Within that cheesecake mixture are little hidden chocolate chips. These are guaranteed to give your guests an even bigger pleasant surprise as they savour each mouthful.
- And on top of the cheesecake mixture, a further scattering of chocolate chips. Watch them disappear as they sink into the cheesecake mixture as it melts! Eat it before they all vanish!
- Let this cheesecake chill as long as you can. It's best to make it 6 - 8 hours before you want to serve it or up to a full day ahead if you can!

Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 g Chocolate Bourbon biscuits
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 300 ml reduced fat double cream
- 300 g reduced fat cream cheese
- 120 g icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¾ teaspoon green food colouring
- 200 g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Crush the biscuits by placing them all in a bag and bashing them up to a breadcrumb consistency using a rolling pin, or use a food processor.
- Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir in the crushed biscuits, ensuring they absorb all of the melted butter.
- Grease a round loose bottom 20cm cake tin, and place a piece of greaseproof paper around the bottom so it overlaps slightly and goes up the side of the tin for about 1cm.
- Empty the biscuit butter mixture into the cake tin, and press down ensuring all the base is covered evenly with the mixture. Then pop into the fridge for at least one hour.
- Either using a hand whisk or in a stand mixer beat the cream until stiff, then gently fold in the cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, green food colouring and 90g of the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the entire cheesecake mixture on top of the biscuit base and chill for at least 6 – 8 hours, or best overnight if you can.
- Decorate with the remaining chocolate chips prior to serving. And carefully remove from the tin to a plate sliding off the greaseproof paper.

I love mint chocolate chip ice cream, and I also happen to love cheesecake. This no-bake cheesecake is like the combination of both of those! I love it! And since it's no-bake, it's perfect for summer weekends with friends. I'm thinking I could go for a slice of this one on the back porch tonight actually! Oh, and I love the little mini-chocolate chips in there. Oh, and thanks for the photo of the Thames! I love Europe! 🙂 (P.S. I just added you on Bloglovin'...now I won't miss any of your posts!)

Hi David I should imagine we would have quite a lot to chat about if we were sharing this on your back porch. Naturally we would have to wash this down with a few beers!!
I’m glad you liked the photo of the Thames! We had an amazing time in London.
Thanks again for commenting David. And for the kind words about my recipe. I’ve got you on Bloglovin’ too. Have a great weekend! 😀

Thank you Ashika. I'm so glad that you like this cheesecake and it's especially good (and lucky) for me that Cheesecake is one of your favourite desserts too as there will be more! 🙂
It was an amazing weekend in London and the weather was just perfect for that walk up the Thames where I managed to snap that picture. It wasn't too warm, it wasn't too cold, it was just a really pleasant temperature and walk. Which made our 5 year engagement anniversary and my birthday celebrations all the better!
