Description

Colorful and whimsical, these Unicorn Cheesecake Bites are a fun and magical dessert perfect for parties, birthdays, or any celebration. With a creamy cheesecake base swirled with vibrant pastel colors, they are both visually stunning and delicious.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Pink, blue, and purple gel food coloring
  • Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of each liner to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly into three bowls and tint each with a different food coloring (pink, blue, purple).
  6. Spoon small dollops of each colored batter into the muffin liners over the crusts. Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the centers are set.
  8. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  9. Top with sprinkles if desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without affecting the texture.
  • For a firmer bite, chill overnight.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
