How To Make Patriotic Cheesecake
- Make the Cake. Follow the instructions on the box to make a round Red Velvet Cake. Let it cool slightly.
- Make the cheesecake batter. Beat the ingredients according to the instructions below, then separate into to bowls.
- Color. Dye one part of the cheesecake blue and leave the other white.
- Bake. Take turns adding white and blue cheesecake on top of the red velvet cake, and bake for about an hour.
- Make frosting. While the cake cools in the freezer, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

How Do I Know When Cheesecake Is Done?
The key for cheesecakes is when it’s mostly firm but still has a little bit of a jiggle in the middle. If the middle is totally firm, it’s probably slightly overcooked.
Can I Freeze My Cheesecake?
Sure! The best way to do this add slices of parchment paper in between each piece and then wrap the cheesecake before placing in the freezer.
