Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup whipping cream
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
Flavor and Decoration:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers and combine with melted butter, then firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even base layer.
- Using an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, granulated sugar, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture becomes silky and completely smooth, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring a uniform and fluffy consistency.
- Carefully dissolve gelatin in warm water, stirring until completely clear and transparent.
- Incorporate the dissolved gelatin into the cheesecake filling, mixing thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Delicately fold colorful sprinkles into the mixture, using a gentle folding technique to prevent color bleeding.
- Transfer the vibrant filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow proper setting and flavor development.
- Before serving, garnish the top with additional sprinkles for a festive and colorful presentation.
Notes
- Prevent sprinkle colors from bleeding by using gel food coloring or letting sprinkles sit at room temperature before mixing.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother, lump-free filling that blends easily.
- Chill the springform pan before pressing the graham cracker crust to help it set firmly and prevent crumbling.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs to accommodate dietary restrictions.
