  • First, line a 9 inch spring-form pan with Parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Place the 2 shortbread crusts in a large bowl, and break up the crusts into crumbs.
  • Add about 1 teaspoon of purple food coloring gel to the shortbread crumbs, and mix well, making the crust purple.
  • Place the purple crumbs in the Spring-form pan on top of the parchment paper, and smooth out evenly. Place in the freezer.
  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place whipping cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and vanilla, and mix on low until blended.
  • Turn mixer up to high speed, and whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator.
  • Rinse the mixing bowl, and dry with a paper towel. Add the softened cream cheese, and sugar to the mixing bowl, and blend until the cream cheese, is creamy.
  • Add the powdered sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla, and blend well to completely blend the ingredients.
  • When the cream cheese mixture is fluffy, and well blended, remove the mixing bowl from the stand mixer, and gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until completely incorporated.

  • Using food coloring gel, drop 4 drops of red food coloring gel in one container, and 6 pink drops in the other container.

  • Remove the Spring-form pan with the purple crust from the freezer, and pour the white layer of cheesecake on top of the purple crust, and spread evenly.
  • Place the Spring-form pan back in the freezer. Leave the pan in the freezer for about an hour, and when the white layer is set to the touch (almost frozen)
  • Add the red layer of cheesecake on top of the white layer, and spread evenly in the pan. Place the Spring-form pan back in the freezer, and leave it for about an hour, and check to see that's it's almost frozen again.
