Spooky Witches’ Brew Swirl Cheesecake - Purple Halloween Monster Cake Decorating Ideas

Author: Aleda | Category: Dessert | Serves: 12

🎃 Ingredients:

• 1½ cups crushed graham crackers
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Purple and green gel food coloring
• Edible glitter & candy eyeballs, for topping

🧙 How to Make It:

1. Prep your base: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to create your crust.
2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Color it creepy: Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. Tint one with purple food coloring and the other with green.
4. Swirl your magic: Spoon alternating dollops of the colored batters into the crust. Once the pan is filled, drag a toothpick or skewer through the batter to create eerie, hypnotic swirls.
5. Bake it up: Bake for 50–55 minutes. The edges should look set, while the center stays slightly wobbly.
6. Chill and decorate: Let the cheesecake cool to room temp, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better). Just before serving, sprinkle edible glitter on top and add candy eyeballs for that spooky finishing touch.
