Mint Cheesecake Filling
- 60 g white chocolate (2 ounces)
- 20 g grapeseed oil (2 tablespoons)
- 75 g cream cheese (2 1/2 ounces)
- 20 g confectioners sugar (2 tablespoons)
- 2 g peppermint extract (1/2 teaspoon)
- 1 g kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- 2 drops green food coloring
- Combine the white chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe dish and gently melt the mixture on low for 30 to 50 seconds.
- Use a heatproof spatula to stir the chocolate and oil together, working until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Combine the cream cheese and confectioners sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and stir together on medium-low speed for 2 to 3 minutes to blend.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- On low speed, slowly stream in the white chocolate mixture.
- Mix for 1 to 2 minutes, until it is fully incorporated into the cream cheese.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the peppermint extract, salt, and food coloring and paddle the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes, or just until it is smooth and leprechaun green.
- (You may need to scrape the bowl down once midmixing.)
- No point in making aheadyou dont have any use for it otherwise and it will make it trickier to swirl in later.
