Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Yellow and orange food coloring
  • Whipped cream or candy corn (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Make Crust: In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
  • Prepare Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Divide and Color Batter: Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into three bowls. Leave one portion plain (for white), add orange food coloring to one portion, and yellow food coloring to the other portion.
  • Layer Cheesecake: Spoon the yellow batter into the muffin cups over the crust, followed by the orange batter, and finally the plain batter on top, creating three layers that mimic candy corn.
  • Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the centers are set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
  • Decorate: Top with whipped cream or candy corn before serving for a festive touch.

Notes

  • For a smoother look, use a piping bag to layer the colored cheesecake batters.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
