Cotton candy as garnish
10 -
4 cream cheese blocks (8 oz each, softened)
11 -
1 tablespoon of Lemon JELLO powder
# Instructions:
01 -
Crush the graham crackers till they’re crumbly (a blender works well for this). Mix with the butter and sugar, then press the mix into parchment-lined springform pans. Pop them in the freezer while you prep the rest.
02 -
Use a mixer on medium speed to stir the heavy cream and a bit of sugar until it starts to firm up. Switch to high speed till stiff peaks form. Move the whipped cream into a bowl and place it in the fridge.
03 -
Smooth out the cream cheese by beating it on medium. Toss in the sugar and mix until it’s nice and even. Gently fold in your whipped cream, making sure it’s all blended. Chill the whole mix in the fridge.
04 -
In three separate ramekins, combine 1 tablespoon of Berry Blue, Lemon, and Cherry JELLO powders with hot water (split equally across the bowls). Stir till each one’s dissolved and cool them to room temperature.
05 -
Split the chilled cream cheese mixture into three portions. Stir the Berry Blue JELLO into one part. Do the same with the Lemon and Cherry JELLO powders in the other two portions. Adjust the color by adding extra powdered JELLO if needed.
06 -
Bring the frozen crusts out. Spread the blue cream layer evenly between the pans, then return them to the freezer for about 45 minutes to let it set. Keep the other two creams in the fridge.
07 -
After the blue layers are fully frozen, spread the cherry-colored filling on top. Repeat with the lemon cream on the last layer. Freeze each layer thoroughly before adding the next. Once done, freeze everything overnight or at least four hours.
08 -
Take the cheesecakes out of the pans and peel away the parchment. Top generously with cotton candy right before serving to prevent melting.
