- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Andes mint baking chips (or about 14 Andes candies, chopped)
- Toppings: Heavy whipping cream, additional Andes baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.

- Fold in chopped Andes mints and pour the mixture over the crust.
- Create a water bath by placing boiling water in a larger dish and setting your springform pan inside. Bake for about 60 minutes.
- Cool in the oven with the door cracked for another 30 minutes before chilling completely at room temperature.
- Melt additional Andes mints with heavy cream for topping; drizzle over cooled cheesecake and sprinkle with more chopped mints.
- Chill for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
