Ingredients
Method
Crust Creation
- Break the graham crackers into smaller pieces and blend until they become fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a dish, add the sugar, and mix in the melted butter until fully coated.
Prepare the Pan
- Line the bottom of the spring-form pan with parchment paper and press the crumb mixture evenly into the pan. Place into the freezer to set.
Whipping Cream
- In a stand mixer, combine the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix at medium speed until it thickens, then whip at high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
Cream Cheese Mixture
- In the same mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese and mix at medium speed until smooth. Add sugar and continue mixing until well combined. Fold in the whipped cream until smooth and refrigerate.
JELLO Layers
- Boil 1 cup of water, then place a tablespoon each of Lime, Cherry, and Orange JELLO into three separate ramekins. Pour a third of the boiled water into each ramekin, stirring until dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
Colorful Filling
- Divide the cheesecake filling into three bowls. Add the corresponding JELLO to each bowl and mix until well combined. Adjust colors as desired.
Layering the Cheesecake
- Pour the Lime filling into the spring-form pan and return to the freezer for about 45 minutes until set. Refrigerate the Cherry and Orange fillings. After the Lime layer sets, add the Cherry layer and freeze until firm. Repeat with the Orange layer, freezing for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving the Cheesecake
- Remove cheesecake from the freezer, release the spring-form sides, and peel off the parchment. Slice into 2-3 inch pieces and serve.
Notes
For serving, garnish with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
