Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and lightly greasing the sides.
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Incorporate sour cream and vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of butter until boiling. Divide mixture into two bowls and add green gel food coloring to one and purple to the other.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drizzle the colored mixtures over the top and swirl with a toothpick or skewer.
- Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes. The edges should be set but the center should jiggle slightly. Turn off the oven and let it cool inside for 1 hour.
- Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, decorate with additional colorful swirls, and slice with a hot knife.
