Easter M&M Cheesecake

How To Make A Fluffy and Creamy Easter M&M Cheesecake

Step 1: Cookie Dough Crust Prep

In a medium-sized bowl, mix half of a sugar cookie mix, following the package directions.

Line the bottom of a 9-inch spring-form pan with parchment paper, and press the sugar cookie mix into the bottom of the pan, evenly, smoothing the dough with a spoon.  

Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until cookie dough is completely done, and browned on the top and edges.

Remove from the oven, and gently press the dough down evenly on top with the bottom of smooth glass.

Set the pan in the freezer to cool quickly. 

Step 2: Cheesecake Prep

In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place the heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and whip with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form and the cream is whipped.

Add the vanilla and the cream cheese, and blend until smooth and fluffy. 

Add the sugar, and Torani white chocolate syrup, and mix until smooth.

In a small dish, add 1/3 cup of water, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the water, and let the gelatin ‘bloom' for about 3 minutes, or until the gelatin has absorbed the water.

Stir the gelatin to mix, and add the gelatin to the mixer.

Blend well to make sure gelatin is blended into the cheesecake batter.

Divide the cheesecake batter in half, place several drops of aqua food coloring gel in one half of the batter, and stir well to mix.

Remove the spring-form pan from the freezer, and pour the aqua cheesecake batter into the pan on top of the sugar cookie crust. 

Place the pan back in the freezer until firm, about 3 hours.

In the remaining half of the cheesecake batter, add the lime green food coloring gel several drops at a time until you get the desired color.

Place the lime green cheesecake batter in the refrigerator until it's time to pour into the pan. 

When the aqua cheesecake is set, or firm to the touch, remove the pan, pour the lime green cheesecake batter into the pan, on top of the aqua layer, and place the pan back in the freezer, overnight.

Step 3: Frosting Preparation

In the mixing bowl, add the Softened Butter, and Softened Cream Cheese, and mix with the whisk attachment until creamy and fluffy. 

Add the Vanilla and Heavy Cream, and mix. 

Add the Powdered Sugar, one cup at a time, blending at low speed, and scraping the bowl down as needed, until all powdered sugar is added, and the frosting is completely mixed and smooth.

Divide the Frosting into three equal bowls, and in one bowl, add several drops of the Hot Pink Food Coloring Gel, until you get a bright pink color. 

Repeat with the Purple and Yellow Food Coloring Gel in the remaining two bowls.

Step 4: Frosting Preparation

Using plastic wrap (glad wrap) tear off a piece about 10 inches wide, and place the frosting length-wise, side by side, in the middle of the plastic wrap.

It will look like long ribbons of frosting.

Then, roll the plastic wrap around the frosting, making sure to keep it long, or length-wise like a long ribbon. 

Snip the end off of the plastic wrap, on one end only, and twist the other end closed. 

Place the plastic wrap in a pastry bag with the large star tip.

Pipe the frosting onto the edges of the cheesecake, using a swirling motion, leaving big dollops on the cheesecake, and bring it up to a point.

Place the Easter/Pastel M&M's generously in the middle of the cheesecake, and on to each dollop of frosting on top of the cheesecake.

Place the cheesecake back in the freezer until time to serve.

When ready to serve, remove the spring-form from the pan, and slice the cheesecake into 2-inch pieces. Serve, and enjoy!

This makes 10 to 12 servings.

Note: make sure that you leave the butter and cream cheese called for in this recipe, out on the counter until it is soft. The frosting will not mix correctly if the butter and cream cheese are cold, both need to be soft, and at room temperature.

What to Pair with Your M&M Cheesecake

Main Dish

Select your entrée with the same care. A meal heavy on cream and butter will not leave your guests in the mood for cheesecake.

Consider white fish, chicken breast, or grilled meats instead of salmon or pulled pork, and relatively plain herbed rice and vegetables instead of rich casseroles or scalloped potatoes. 

Appetizers

When your meal will end with a cheesecake, try to avoid using similarly rich ingredients in your appetizers.

If you're entertaining, skip the heavy or cheesy canapes in favor of lighter options like marinated vegetables.

Salads should be light, crisp, and green, with simple vinaigrettes rather than rich ranch or blue cheese dressings.

If you want to start the night with a soup, go for something light and brothy rather than creamy or heavy. 

Drinks

A slice of rich, decadent cheesecake goes perfectly with a cup of strong coffee or tea, creating the ideal moment of self-indulgence.

Can I Freeze M&M Cheesecake

M&M Cheesecake FAQs

Can I make the cheesecake in advance?

Yes. Best of all, cheesecakes may be created ahead of time, leaving you with one less thing to worry about on the day of your party.

Cheesecakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days if covered. Bake cheesecake weeks ahead of time and freeze it for even more ease.

Can I store a warm cheesecake in the refrigerator?

No, Warm cheesecake should not be refrigerated immediately.

As the inside temperature of the refrigerator rises, placing the hot cheesecake in the fridge will be more harmful to the refrigerator than to the cake.

It's best to let the cheesecake cool completely before putting it in the fridge.

Is a watery cheesecake filling, okay?

No. One common issue with cheesecakes is that the cream cheese used adds too much moisture to the cake, causing it to become runny.

If you don't add anything to help offset the cream cheese's water content, the cake's texture will most likely be off.

Can cheesecake quickly chill?

Yes. Use a small fan to blow horizontally over the cheesecake in the refrigerator (covered of course).

As a result, the cool air will draw the heat away from the cheesecake. It should reduce the cooling time by 30-40%, or about 4 hours on a 12-hour chill time.

Is it safe to put a cheesecake in the freezer to set?

No. It may be tempting to remove your cheesecake from the oven and immediately place it in the freezer to save a few steps. It will not, however, set, and the consistency will be off.

Allow your cheesecake to cool at room temperature after baking. Then put it in the fridge until it's set.
