Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Press into the springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese and sugar together in an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, then incorporate eggs one at a time.
  4. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter. Heat until boiling, then simmer until thickened. Divide and color one half green and the other purple.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling onto the cooled crust. Drizzle colored swirls on top and gently swirl with a toothpick.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until edges are set but center wobbles slightly.
  7. Open the oven door slightly and let the cheesecake cool for an hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, decorate with extra swirls of heavy cream and a sprinkle of edible glitter. Slice and serve.
