Line the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray the sides with nonstick baking spray.

Add the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a large mixing bowl. Stir until the crumbs are completely coated with the butter.

Firmly press the crust evenly into the prepared springform pan.

Place the pan into the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake batter.

Add the sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk to combine. This will prevent the cornstarch from clumping.

In a large bowl, add in the cream cheese. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until smooth.

Add in the sugar and continue to beat until the sugar is incorporated.

Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl after each addition.

Beat in the mint extract and mint green gel food coloring.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour cheesecake mixture into the chilled crust.

Double wrap the bottom of the pan in heavy-duty tin foil.

Cover the top of the pan with a piece of foil.

Fill the instant pot with 1 cup of water.

Place a trivet in the bottom of the instant pot.

Place the springform pan on top of the trivet.

Lock the lid and set the pressure release valve to the sealed position.

Bake on manual setting high pressure for 40 minutes. Once the timer goes off allow to natural release for 20 minutes.

Remove the lid and use a paper towel to dap onto the foil to remove condensation.

Carefully remove from the pot and place onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.

Once the cheesecake has come to room temperature, place into the fridge overnight to chill.

Pour the heavy whipped cream to a small pot. Heat on medium until it begins to steam.

While heavy whipping cream is heating up, place the chocolate chips into a heat-proof bowl.

Once the heavy whipping cream is heated, pour over the chocolate chips and allow to sit for 1 minute before whisking until thick and creamy.

Allow the ganache to cool until it thickens.

Pour the ganache over the top of the cooled cheesecake.

Cut and serve!
