Make the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, then the sour cream, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, mint extract, and green food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
