Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups (300 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon (12.5 grams) sugar
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter
Decorative Ingredients:
- Food coloring (pink, purple, yellow, teal)
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Sprinkles (for garnish)
- Candy (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream vigorously using an electric mixer until it forms sturdy, glossy peaks that hold their shape perfectly.
- In a separate mixing vessel, blend cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
- Carefully incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese base, using gentle folding techniques to maintain the airy texture.
- Divide the unified mixture into four separate containers, then infuse each with distinct food coloring for a vibrant palette.
- Transfer each colored mixture into individual piping bags by cutting a small tip at the end for precise application.
- Artfully pipe alternating colors into silicone molds, creating playful layers and gently tapping the mold to eliminate air bubbles and establish an even surface.
- Prepare the graham cracker foundation by melting butter and combining it with graham cracker crumbs and sugar until the mixture achieves a perfect, cohesive consistency.
- Delicately sprinkle the graham cracker blend atop each cheesecake layer, pressing lightly to integrate it into the colorful base.
- Transfer the filled molds to the freezer, allowing them to solidify and set for approximately 2-4 hours until completely firm.
- Once fully chilled, carefully extract the mini cheesecakes from their molds and embellish with dollops of whipped cream, festive sprinkles, and decorative candies for a whimsical presentation.
Notes
- Whip cream carefully to achieve perfect stiff peaks, stopping just before it turns grainy.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother, lump-free mixing.
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant, intense colors without affecting batter consistency.
- Gently fold whipped cream to maintain its airy texture and prevent deflation.
