Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

• 2 eggs

• 1/4 cup cotton candy-flavored syrup (or extract)

• Pink and blue food coloring

• Graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)

• Whipped cream, cotton candy pieces, and sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare your graham cracker crust in a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and cotton candy syrup, mixing well.

Step 3: Add the Eggs

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Color the Batter

Divide the batter evenly into two bowls.
Tint one bowl with pink food coloring and the other with blue food coloring.

Step 5: Layer the Colors

Pour the pink batter over the crust, followed by the blue batter, gently swirling with a knife to create a marbled effect if desired.

Step 6: Bake

Bake the cheesecake for about 45–50 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

Step 7: Chill

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 8: Decorate

Before serving, top with whipped cream, pieces of real cotton candy, and colorful sprinkles for a fun, festive look!

Serving Suggestions
