Incredible Chocolate Mint Cheesecake

This cake is for those who love the the taste of peppermint, the cooling sensation in the mouth linker on ......
My 1st attempt for this cake is a failure, the top cheese is good but not the bottom chocolate layer which is tough like a kuih! Some left over ended in the dustbin! My second attempt the chocolate base I used a different recipe from my older post of Walnut Chocolate Cheese Slices. and the top mint cheese layer I follow the original recipe.
