A festive twist on classic cheesecake, this creamy, colorful dessert is studded with rainbow sprinkles and topped with fluffy whipped cream—perfect for celebrating any special occasion in sweet, joyful style.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 22 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow jimmies (or sprinkles)
  • 6 oz whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix well.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in rainbow jimmies with a spatula.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but set around the edges.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  10. Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. Before serving, top with generous swirls of whipped cream and more sprinkles for a festive finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix once eggs are added to prevent cracks.
  • Chilling overnight enhances flavor and texture.
  • Add sprinkles just before baking to prevent color bleeding.
  • Whipped cream topping should be added right before serving for best appearance.
