Ingredients
- 5.5 oz vanilla wafers (½ box)
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 oz packet unflavored gelatin
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Food coloring (pink, blue, red, yellow)
- Whipped topping (or leftover heavy cream to whip)
Instructions
- Set your silicone muffin pan on a baking sheet to keep it stable.
- Crush the vanilla wafers in a food processor until they’re fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse to combine.
- Spoon the crumb mixture into the muffin tin cavities and press down to form a crust.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water. Microwave for about 10 seconds until it becomes clear. Stir well and set aside.
- Slowly pour the heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until well combined.
- Stir in the warm gelatin mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 3 small bowls. Add 1 drop each of red and blue food coloring to one bowl (to make purple), 1 drop of yellow to another, and 1 drop of pink to the last. Mix each until evenly colored.
- Transfer each color into a separate piping bag. Pipe the colored mixtures into the molds, alternating colors.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper over the tin and gently press down to swirl the colors and flatten the tops.
- Freeze the whole muffin tin (on the baking sheet) for 2 hours, or until firm.
- Pop them out of the molds and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Top with whipped cream or whipped topping right before serving!
