Method
Crust Preparation
Make the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until creamy. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in the peppermint extract and chopped After Eight mints.
Bake the cheesecake
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Finishing Touches
Chill and serve
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with additional After Eight mints.
