Instructions
- Mix whipping cream: In a large bowl using an electric mixer mix the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Combine cream cheese mixture: In another bowl combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine mixtures: Using your mixer combine the heavy whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Dye batter: Separate the batter into 4 bowls and dye each one a different color. Stir to blend the color evenly into the mixture.
- Prepare piping bags: Place the different batter in individual ziploc bags and snip off the ends.
- Pipe first color: Pipe one color into 6 of the silicone molds.
- Level batter: Bang the mold on the counter to level the batter.
- Repeat with colors: Repeat with the colors until almost at the top of the mold.
- Melt butter: In a microwave safe bowl melt your butter.
- Make crust mixture: To the butter add the graham cracker crumbs and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Top cheesecakes: Spoon some of the graham cracker mixture onto the top of each cheesecake pressing the crumbs into the batter.
- Freeze cheesecakes: Place the mold onto a tray and place in the freezer for 2-4 hours.
- Remove and serve: Remove the cheesecakes from their molds, garnish and serve!
- Garnish: I like to top these with a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkles and a little chocolate egg.
