Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Muffin pan
Ingredients
- 12 graham crackers crushed (you should have about ¾ cup of crumbs)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 16 ounces cream cheese 225g
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Red and blue gel food coloring
- 1 cup heavy cream 240ml
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tray with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the crushed graham crackers and melted butter to a bowl and stir to combine. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the muffin pan bases. Place in the fridge while making the filling.
- Add the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until combined well.
- Divide the mixture evenly into three bowls.
- Stir a drop or two of red food coloring into one bowl until completely combined. Repeat with the blue color in another bowl of cheesecake filling.
- Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add ⅓ to each bowl of red, white and blue filling and gently fold in the cream.
- Take the blue color and divide it between the muffin cups using a spoon and spread into a smooth, even layer with the back of the spoon. Place into the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Add the white filling on top of the red and spread to the edges evenly. Freeze for 10 minutes. Repeat with the red cheesecake filling.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving cold.
