Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into a springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes until golden.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Gradually add sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently till just incorporated.
  4. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened. Divide and color one portion green and the other purple.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drizzle colored mixtures on top and swirl with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the edges are set and center is slightly wobbly. Gradually cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  7. Decorate with additional swirls or edible glitter before serving. Serve chilled with Butterbeer or vanilla ice cream.
