Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Crust by combining crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter, pressing it into a 9-inch springform pan, and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Let cool.

- Prepare the Mint Chocolate Layer by mixing cream cheese, sugar, mint extract, and optional green food coloring, then spread over the dark chocolate layer. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes and let cool before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.

Notes
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
- Avoid over-baking to prevent cracks; the center should have a slight jiggle.
- Cover the edges with foil to prevent burning while baking.
- Cool gradually to minimize cracking.
- Refrigerating overnight enhances flavors and makes slicing easier.
