Expert Tips

For a Crowd-Size Impossibly Easy Grasshopper Cheesecake, double all ingredients and use a 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Bake 30 to 37 minutes.

You can substitute crème de menthe-flavored syrup for the 3 tablespoons crème de menthe, but the mint flavor will be a bit milder.

after reading the reviews I went to an old cheesecake recipe I have from my mother. added the creme de menthe and chocolate chips and topped it with the ganache. Oh what a cheesecake. what on earth ever gave anyone the idea to mix bisquick into a cheesecake?

Mine came out almost exactly like the pic!! I listened to the reviews however, and decided that bisquick would probably be gross in this cheesecake. I have made enough cheesecake to know that 3/4 cup of bisquick would not be a good choice. Instead I put in a little less then 1/2 cup of flour and it turned out great!!!! I recommend using flour and not bisquick.

There is obviously a mistake in the recipe. There is no way you can get the cheesecake pictured by using the recipe provided. It looks really good, but obviously a number of people found out that you can't mix the Bisquick into the batter. I don't know what the rest of the reviewers who liked it were drinking! Would be nice if we could get a corrected recipe. Oh yeah, there's no way the rating average is that high either if you read the reviews. What's up with that?
