Method

First pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Next mix cracker crumbs, melted butter and the 1 tablespoon sugar together. Press in a 9-inch spring-form pan, chill. Next cream the cream cheese and the 1 cup of sugar together. Then add in the eggs, one at a time. Next add the creme de menthe and the vanilla extract. Pour into chilled crust and bake for 40 to 50 minuets, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Refrigerate for six hours or overnight. Melt chocolate. Add sour cream to chocolate and spread onto chilled cheesecake. Garnish with a few mint leaves in the center. And last, but not least EAT!!!

 

Notes: Personally I like to wait a day before eating the cheesecake.
