Very good! Have used part lowfat cream cheese sometimes, still with excellent results!

Everyone who tried this recipe liked it a lot. It kinda tastes like an Ande's mint but creamy. I used a little extra food coloring and mint filled oreos instead of the keebler cookies because our store was out of them. The oreos tasted great as the crust though. I might use a little bit less mint extract next time, but most said it was good how it was.

My husband and I loved this recipe! I used regular-sized chocolate chips and it worked just fine. I also just used a regular pie dish. I had a hard time getting the pieces out of the dish, so I will spray it more thoroughly with non-stick spray next time.

I made this for a girls get together. It is very delicious. I am gluten intolerant, so I left out the crust. Then I didn't like the look of mine, so I made a mint chocolate ganache and covered the cake with that. It was beautiful! I didn't have mini chocolate chips, so I chopped up some regular ones and it worked just fine.I was worried that it might be too minty with the ganache, but it got rave reviews from all my girlfriends! It's a hit!

I've made this recipe many times, every time is perfect, the texture and flavor are perfect, make sure to crush the cookies very fine or it's hard to cut the cheesecake when cool.
