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

  1. Whip the heavy cream vigorously using an electric mixer until it forms sturdy, glossy peaks that hold their shape perfectly.
  2. In a separate mixing vessel, blend cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
  3. Carefully incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese base, using gentle folding techniques to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Divide the unified mixture into four separate containers, then infuse each with distinct food coloring for a vibrant palette.
  5. Transfer each colored mixture into individual piping bags by cutting a small tip at the end for precise application.
  6. Artfully pipe alternating colors into silicone molds, creating playful layers and gently tapping the mold to eliminate air bubbles and establish an even surface.
  7. 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.
  8. Delicately sprinkle the graham cracker blend atop each cheesecake layer, pressing lightly to integrate it into the colorful base.
  9. Transfer the filled molds to the freezer, allowing them to solidify and set for approximately 2-4 hours until completely firm.
  10. 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.
