Candy Corn Cheesecake
This recipe was a tear-out of a holiday magazine a few years back. Three layers of delicious, creamy cheesecake make up this festive looking Halloween cheesecake. Those cheesecake layers sit on top of an Oreo crust, and they’re topped with a thin layer of whipped cream.
How to Make Candy Corn Cheesecake:
Crushed Oreos are combined with butter to make a simple cookie crust. Cheesecake batter, made special by additions of mascarpone and honey, is divided into three parts and colored with your typical candy corn colors- orange, yellow (and a little left to the side to remain white). The cheesecake is baked in three stages- yellow layer (then cooled slightly), then orange layer (also cooled), then white. It’s a time consuming process for sure, but it all works out in the end!
After a long (24 hour) chilling period and careful extraction of the cheesecake from the pan, it’s topped with some whipped cream. This is a nice idea since it easily hides any imperfections on the top of the cheesecake. Topping it decoratively with candy corns makes it more festive too.
Slices of this cheesecake turn out a pretty display of the candy corn colors. Add some spiders and it’s ready for a Halloween table.
This Candy Corn Cheesecake recipe is fairly easy to follow, but it is indeed a complicated, time-consuming process, and the ingredients called for are quite expensive. I’m wondering if the same process would work with a regular cheesecake recipe to save some cash? It does turn out a delicious, creamy cheesecake, so in my opinion it’s absolutely worth the expense and the time. If you’re going for an impressive Halloween sweet treat that is hard to resist, then this is your dessert!
