Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 15 squares)
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter, melted
Cheesecake
  • 16 ounces (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 pint sour cream (1 pint = 16 ounces or 2 cups of sour cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • food coloring - pink purple, blue, green, yellow, and red
Instructions

  1. Fill a roasting pan with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the silicone heart molds.

  2. Set the roasting pan in the oven.

  3. Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

  4. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and melted butter.

  6. Press the crumbs into an even layer and refrigerate until needed.

  7. Beat cream cheese until creamy and smooth.

  8. Add sugar and beat until incorporated.

  9. Beat in eggs then add sour cream and vanilla and mix just to combine.

  10. Equally divide the cheesecake batter into 6 bowls.

  11. Color one bowl of filling pink, lavender, yellow, orange, green, and blue using food coloring.

  12. Equally divide each color of filling among 3 heart cavities.

  13. Bake cheesecakes in a water bath for 18-24 minutes until the edges look set but the center is jiggly but not wet.

  14. Remove from oven and water bath and allow to cool at room temperature for an hour.

  15. Freeze for at least two hours then remove and un-mold.

  16. Paint conversation heart phrases onto the tops of the cheesecakes using red food coloring.

Recipe Notes

Store your conversation heart cheesecakes in the refrigerator for up to several days or freeze them for up to a month. I highly recommend you wait to decorate the cheesecakes until the day you plan to serve them.
