Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake:
- 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cotton candy-flavored syrup
- Pink and blue food coloring (optional)
For the Drip:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Pink and blue food coloring
For Decoration:
- Whipped cream
- Mini Oreos
- Cotton candy
- Sprinkles
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the Crust: Combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Beat in sour cream and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in cotton candy-flavored syrup. Divide the batter into two bowls.
- Color the Batter: Color one bowl of batter pink and the other blue.
- Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the pink batter into the prepared crust. Swirl in half of the blue batter to create a marbleized effect. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
- Make the Drip: Melt white chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Divide the melted chocolate into two bowls. Color one bowl pink and the other blue.
- Assemble the Cake: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Place it on a serving plate. Drizzle the pink and blue chocolate over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Decorate: Top the cake with whipped cream, mini Oreos, cotton candy, and sprinkles.
Tips:
- For a stronger cotton candy flavor, use more cotton candy-flavored syrup.
- To make the cheesecake even more colorful, add more food coloring to the batter.
- For a smoother drip, use a piping bag to apply the melted chocolate.
- To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, let it cool completely before removing it from the springform pan.
Common Mistakes and Solutions:
- Cracked Cheesecake: To avoid cracking, don’t overbake the cheesecake. It should still be slightly jiggly in the center.
- Watery Cheesecake: This can happen if the cream cheese is too soft. Make sure it’s cold before using.
- Uneven Drip: To create a smooth drip, make sure the melted chocolate is the right consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more heavy cream.
