Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Stand mixer
  • 8-inch springform pan
  • parchment paper
  • Spatulas
  • cooling rack
  • Piping bag with large fluted or star piping tip

Ingredients

CRUST:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • ½ cup Butter melted

FILLING:

  • 32 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • ¼ cup Amoretti Birthday cake flavoring syrup
  • Aqua food coloring gel - about 1/2 a teaspoon
  • ½ cup Confetti Sprinkles

TO TOP:

  • 12 ounces Cool Whip - placed in the refrigerator to thaw
  • Confetti Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Cut the Parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan.
  • Using a brush, brush the inside of the Spring-form pan with softened butter, bottom and sides.
  • Place the Parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, over the butter, and set aside.
  • Measure the crumbs into a bowl, add the Sugar and stir, and add the butter and stir well to coat.
  • Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan, and up the sides, making the crust even all the way around.
  • Use a spoon to smooth the crumbs.
  • In the Mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the heavy cream, and mix on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the softened cream cheese, Sugar, eggs, Vanilla, flour, and Amoretti Birthday cake syrup, and mix all ingredients, until well blended.
  • Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the Aqua food coloring gel, and mix well until all the cheesecake batter is a light aqua color; Depending on what brand of food coloring gel you use will depend on exactly how much you need.
  • If you want a lighter color, use a little less, if you want a darker aqua color, use a little more.
  • When you have the batter mixed, add the Confetti sprinkles to the batter, and mix on low for just about 10 seconds to blend the sprinkles into the batter.
  • Pour the Cheesecake batter into the Spring-form pan.
  • Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • On the bottom rack, place a large pan of water - a 9 X 13 dish would work, or a broiler pan, just make sure it's positioned underneath the Cheesecake.
  • Place the Cheesecake in the oven, at 325 degrees, for 1/2 an hour, then turn the temperature to 300, and leave for another 1/2 an hour.
  • When the hour is up, turn off the oven, and leave the Cheesecake in the oven for another hour, then remove the Cheesecake from the oven to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • When the Cheesecake is cooled, cover the top with Parchment Paper, and then in foil.
  • Place in the refrigerator overnight, and for 24 hours if possible; chilling it for 24 hours will make sure it is set firm.
  • Start by removing the spring-form from the pan.
  • Run a thin blade of a knife gently around the edge, between the spring-form pan, and the Cheesecake before removing the spring-form.
  • Once you've loosened the Cheesecake and removed the Spring-form, place the Cheesecake on a Cake stand, or Cake plate, or if you choose, you can leave the Cheesecake on the bottom of the spring-form pan, and serve that way.
  • Next, place the piping tip in a large pastry bag, and then place the Cool Whip in the pastry bag.
  • Pipe big dollops of the Cool Whip all around the top edge of the Cheesecake. Sprinkle additional Confetti Sprinkles to fill the center top of the cheesecake.
  • Place the Cheesecake back in the refrigerator until time to serve.
  • Cut into 2 - 3 inch pieces, serve, and enjoy!
