Method
- Grease and line the sides of a 20cm loose-based tin with greaseproof paper. Blitz the biscuits in a processor or bash with a rolling pin in a zip-lock bag. Add the melted butter and mix together.
- Spoon the mixture into the lined tin, flatten and chill for 1 hour. Meanwhile, to make the filling, whip the cream until it starts to thicken. Fold in the icing sugar, cream cheese and vanilla and whizz together.
- Remove ⅓ of the mixture and place in a separate bowl. Add the peppermint oil and food colouring, and mix through until smooth and spreadable.
- Remove the base of the cheesecake from the fridge and add the green mint mixture. Level off into a thin layer.
- Now, add the remainder of the vanilla mixture on top of the mint layer and carefully smooth the surface. Set aside in the fridge while you make the topping.
- Melt the chocolate, syrup, butter and 60ml of water in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Mix until smooth, then leave to cool and thicken slightly. Pour onto the middle of the cheesecake and gently spread to the edges so it drips down the sides.
- Decorate the top with the leftover filling from the Oreo biscuits, halves of Oreo biscuits and crumbs. Leave in the fridge overnight or for at least 3 hours before serving.
