Ingredients

For the Crust:

Cheesecake Filling:

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream

 Unicorn Colors:

Gel food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, purple)

For the Topping:

Whipped cream
Edible glitter or sprinkles (optional)

Pro Tip: For a gluten-free crust, use crushed almond flour cookies instead of graham crackers!

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form a firm crust.
  4. Set aside while preparing the filling.

Step2: Make the Cheesecake Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy.
  3. Blend in sour cream, followed by eggs, mixing just until incorporated.
  4. Stir in heavy cream, ensuring the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Step3: Add the Unicorn Swirls

  1. Divide the cheesecake batter into four separate bowls.
  2. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well to create pink, blue, yellow, and purple batters.
  3. Spoon the different colors into the crust one at a time, alternating to create a rainbow effect.
  4. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together.

Step4: Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour with the door slightly open.

Step5: Chill & Serve

  1. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to develop.
  3. Before serving, top with whipped cream and edible glitter or sprinkles for extra magic!

Pro Tip: For an ultra-creamy texture, always use room temperature ingredients!

Equipment

Notes

Use gel food coloring for the most vibrant swirls.
Avoid overmixing the batter after adding eggs to keep the cheesecake smooth.
Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
For a no-bake version, replace eggs with gelatin and refrigerate instead of baking!
