Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper or greasing it.
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, then blend until smooth.
Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Gradually mix in cream soda, then set this mixture aside.
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Stir until it reaches a gentle boil, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in vanilla extract and divide the butterscotch mixture into four bowls, coloring each with gel food coloring.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust, drizzle the colored butterscotch mixtures over, and swirl gently with a toothpick.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Let cool gradually in the oven.
Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Before serving, drizzle additional colored butterscotch swirls on top for decoration.

Notes

Use high-quality cream cheese for best results. Chill thoroughly to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
