Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, crush chocolate sandwich cookies and mix with melted butter. Press this mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one by one, mixing until incorporated, then blend in vanilla, sour cream, and flour.
- Divide the filling into four bowls and tint each with different gel food colors: orange, purple, green, and black.
- Spoon dollops of the colors onto the cooled crust, alternating the colors, then swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set. The center should jiggle slightly.
- Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
- Decorate the chilled cheesecake with sprinkles, candy eyeballs, or ganache, then slice and serve.
