1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounce)
5 drops green food coloring
1 teaspoon mint extract
12 ounces Cool Whip, thawed, divided
For the Topping:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
In a ziploc bag, crush the mint Oreo cookies, keeping them slightly chunky. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk for about 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Beat in food coloring and mint extract.
Fold in 12 ounces of the thawed Cool Whip and the crushed mint cookies. Pour evenly into the prepared Oreo pie crusts.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and heavy cream for 30 seconds. Stir and heat in 15-second increments, until smooth. Allow to cool about 5 minutes before spreading over the top of the cheesecake.
Chill cheesecakes for 3 hours (or overnight).
