St. Patrick’s Day Dessert: Rainbow Cheesecakes

March 13, 2011 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 20 Comments

Rainbow Cheesecakes ~ Bright and cheerful these rainbow cheesecakes are perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day dessert or fun for any day. Of course I couldn’t help throwing a cherry on top for added happiness.

Rainbow Cheesecakes

Let’s ignore the fact that picture is not fabulous and. . . um, can we  just focus on the how yummy and cute these little Rainbow Cheesecakes are. This weekend was a mad baking one so I had to quickly work through the photography portion of it.

It’s been crazy lately between all the birthdays and a job restructure shortly after just starting my job, acclimating to my job and then-it changes. Thankfully, it’s all for good and most importantly, I love it.

Life is finally slowing down and it’s all coming back into balance. Cole is settling in with his new babysitter. The family is settling into my later working hours from being home at 4:30 pm to 6:30pm. That’s a huge difference in time when you have a little one waiting for you every night. I finally feel like the frenetic pace of life is settling into something more even keeled and the sprinting shoes can now finally be shelved for awhile.

With that, I should be back on a regular posting schedule. Yay for that!

A few notes:

  • This is incredibly easy to make but does require a mise en place set up, so line up five bowls with five spoons to mix each color. To assemble, you can use a spoon to layer each color, but it’s much easier and less messy if you place each colored batter into a Ziploc bag or pastry bag to pipe each color on top of one another.
  • Add the color one drop at a time. I recommend two drops, but keep in mind I used Ateco coloring. If you use any other line, the amount may change so add your color slowly.
  • The finished rainbow cheesecake will have slightly sunken centers, but that’s okay since it will be topped with whip  cream.
  • For more fabulous rainbow desserts checkout Amanda from I Am Baker’s  Rainbow Pancakes and Katie of Good Life Eats’ Rainbow Cookies.
  • For more St. Patrick’s Day Goodies check out my Irish Cake Bombs and Irish Brownie Bombs.

Rainbow Cheesecake

Makes 10-12 Individual Cheesecakes

Preparation: Heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line muffin pan wells with paper. Set aside five empty bowls and for each color preparation.

Ingredients:

  • 20 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 small dots of each of these colors: purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red

Instructions:

  1. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. T urn mixer speed to low and add heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add one egg at time and mix to combine.
  2. Divide finish cheesecake batter into five bowls (approximately ½ cup each).  Add approximately 2 drops of food color to each bowl.   Mix food color into batter until streaks disappear.
  3. Place each colored batter into a separate pastry bag. Pipe one single layer of each color into every well. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
