Preparing the Ginger Snap Base

2. In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed ginger snap cookies, sugar, and melted butter.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool.

Making the Mint Chocolate Chip Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
2. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until fully combined.
4. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the color is uniform.
5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
6. Pour the filling over the cooled ginger snap crust.

Baking the Cheesecake

1. Bake the cheesecake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
2. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for about an hour.
3. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Adding the Toffee Crunch Topping

1. Before serving, sprinkle the crushed toffee bits and mini chocolate chips evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
2. For an extra touch, you can add a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce.
