Cheesecake Steps
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a springform pan with parchment paper or grease it.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl and press into the bottom of the springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden and cool it on a wire rack.
- Beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until light and creamy, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
- In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and unsalted butter over medium heat and bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened.
- Divide the butterscotch mixture, adding green gel food coloring to one, and purple to the other, and mix until vibrant.
- Drizzle the colored butterscotch mixtures over the cheesecake batter in random patterns and swirl them with a toothpick.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
- Bake the cheesecake for 50–60 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let it cool for about 1 hour.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drizzle additional butterscotch swirls on top before serving and sprinkle with edible glitter or silver dust.
- When serving, dip a knife in hot water and wipe it dry for clean slices.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps and gently mix in the eggs to avoid cracks. Cool gradually in the oven and refrigerate for best flavor.
