Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (134g) vanilla wafer cookie crumbs
  • 2 tbsp (26g) sugar
  • 4 tbsp (56g) butter, melted
  • 12 ounces (339g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
  • 3 tbsp (24g) flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • Blue gel icing color
  • Red gel icing color
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 5 tbsp (36g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until the crumbs are fully moistened. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and distribute about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cup, pressing down firmly.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add the granulated sugar, flour, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, then add the eggs one at a time.
  3. Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Add a touch of blue gel icing into half of the batter and red into the other half, swirling gently.
  4. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and cool for about 30 minutes.
  5. Chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  6. Whip the cold heavy whipping cream until it thickens, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until soft peaks form.

Notes

For variations, try topping with fresh berries or using different extracts for flavor.
