Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a springform pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  6. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter. Stir until boiling, then simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Divide the mixture, adding green food coloring to one bowl and purple to another.
  8. Drizzle the colored mixtures over the cheesecake batter and swirl gently.
  9. Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and tap the pan to release air bubbles.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven and crack the door.
  11. Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  12. Before serving, drizzle remaining colored mixtures on top and optionally sprinkle with edible glitter or silver dust.
  13. For clean slices, dip a knife in hot water, wipe it dry, and cut the cheesecake.
