Ingredients
Crust
- 10 crushed graham crackers bonus if you use the ones with cinnamon/sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
- For the Filling:
- 2 cups cream cheese meaning two bricks, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 10 drops cotton candy food flavoring
- ⅔ cups sugar
- 6 different neon gel food colors blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow, green
Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup sugar
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350-degrees.
- Mix crushed graham cracker and melted butter or coconut oil together until thoroughly combined.
- Mash graham cracker mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Set aside.
- With a hand mixer, combine cream cheese and sugar until completely combined.
- Add eggs, cotton candy flavoring and mix until completely combined.
- Split the mixture into 6 bowls, equally-ish.
- Add 5-10 drops (the more you add, the more intense the color will be) of food coloring, one color for each bowl.
- Stir each bowl with a clean spoon until each bowl's color is consistent.
- Start layering your filling mixture into the crust by pouring one color all around the bottom of the crust, making sure it covers the whole bottom.
- Pour another color on top in the center, and then another, followed by another. It should be making kind of a ripple outward. It will be amazing.
- Do not stir or touch or wiggle.
- Place in the oven for 30-minutes (add a crust-shield about 20-minutes into the baking if you are concerned about crust-burnage).
- Remove and allow to cool and place into the refrigerator until you are ready to make the topping and serve.
- For the topping, note that you should make this just prior to serving for best results. Combine the sugar and heavy whipping cream.
- With a hand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream mixture until it holds it's shape.
- Spread this evenly, with embellishments on the edges, all over the cheesecake.
- Add sprinkles for even more whimsy.
- Serve!
