Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) while you prepare your springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of your prepared pan and bake for 8–10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together 4 packages of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and creamy. Blend in 1 cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Introduce the eggs one at a time, gently mixing after each addition to avoid overmixing.
  • In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup of heavy cream, ½ cup of brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir gently and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick.
  • Divide the butterscotch mixture into two bowls. Add green gel food coloring to one and purple gel food coloring to the other.
  • Drizzle the green and purple butterscotch mixtures over the cheesecake batter and gently swirl together using a toothpick.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over your cooled crust and bake for 50–60 minutes.
  • Turn off the oven and crack the door open to let the cheesecake cool gradually. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • After chilling, drizzle additional green and purple butterscotch on top and optionally sprinkle with edible glitter or silver dust.
  • For clean slices, dip a knife in hot water, wipe it dry, and cut through the cheesecake.

Notes

Ensure all cream cheese is thoroughly softened to achieve a creamy texture. Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracks.
