Reply:ooh yes! ths ones all mine! im a proffesional cook and have done alot of playing with chocolate and mint. heres a good thing to do. make a mint chocolate ganache. use 2 oz of butter, 2 oz of heavy whipping cream, about 8 - 12 oz of a good chocolate, and peppermint extract to taste. melt the butter and cream over a double boiler, add the chocolate and stir and melt it down. be patient dont burn your chocoalte. when its all melted down add your mint extract to taste, keep in mind that as something cools its flavor become less intense. i usually us about 3 tablespoons of mint. then let it cool stirring occasionally. now you can either pipe the chocolate out using a round piping tip and pipe straight lines and freeze then break the straws of chocolate into the size you want or you can just freeze the batch and hack away at the frozen ganache breaking it into lil pieces using a cleaver or big chef knife. but after you get your pieces re freeze them. make your cheese cake batter, for the final step add your mint chocolate ganache pieces and bake..... mmmmm or you cant take the ganache and melt it and pour it over the top enrobing your fully baked cheesecake then chilling it for a nice mint chocolate coating to your delicate cheesecake. the possibilities are endless... just have fun.
