Color Variations

The basic version can be artistically adapted. Pink and violet create a nebula look. Gold and silver tones appear elegant. A version in blue and green tones resembles Earth from space. Metallic food colors intensify the space effect.

Optimal Storage

The cheesecake keeps in the refrigerator for up to four days. Before serving, bring to temperature for 30 minutes. Individual pieces can be frozen. Transport best in a cake carrier with cooling elements.

Time Management

You can prepare the base the day before. Bring cream cheese to room temperature in advance. Mix colors beforehand. This organization guarantees stress free baking. Be sure to plan for cooling time.

Festive Occasions

The cheesecake is perfect for space parties and science fiction events. With adapted coloring, it fits any theme. As a birthday cake, it makes a spectacular figure. It is also an eye catcher for dessert buffets.

After many experiments with different cheesecake recipes, this version has proven to be the perfect balance between appearance and taste. The combination of creamy texture and galactic design makes this cake an unforgettable dessert. I find it particularly fascinating how the different colors merge into a cosmic artwork during baking.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Which food colors work best?
Gel or paste colors work better than liquid ones, as they produce more intense colors and don't change the consistency.
→ Why does the cheesecake sometimes crack?
Cooling too quickly can cause cracks. Therefore, let the cake cool slowly in the turned-off oven.
→ Can I freeze the cake?
Yes, well wrapped it keeps for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
→ How do I know when the cake is done?
The edges should be firm, the center still slightly wobbly. The cake will set as it cools.
→ Which cookies can I use for the base?
Butter cookies, whole grain cookies or digestive biscuits work well. Adjust the amount of butter if necessary.

Ingredients

→ Cheesecake filling

01 3 packages (675g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
02 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
03 3 large eggs, room temperature
04 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream
05 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 1 pinch of salt
07 Gel food coloring (black, purple, blue, and teal)
08 Assorted sprinkles for decoration (stars, pearls, or shimmer dust)

→ Cookie crust

09 15 graham crackers or digestive biscuits (about 1½ cups when crushed)
10 6 tablespoons (90g) unsalted butter, melted
11 1 tablespoon (15g) granulated sugar
12 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan with butter or cooking spray. Wrap the outside bottom and sides of the pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaking if using a water bath (optional but recommended for crack prevention).

Step 02

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition but not overbeating. Gently fold in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined. Divide the mixture evenly into four bowls. Color one portion with black food coloring, one with purple, one with blue, and one with teal, adjusting the intensity to your preference.

Step 03

Place the graham crackers or digestive biscuits in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. If you don't have a food processor, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter, sugar, and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even layer.

Step 04

Dollop spoonfuls of the different colored cheesecake batters randomly over the crust, alternating colors to create a random pattern. Using a skewer or knife, gently swirl the colors together with just a few strokes to create a marbled galaxy effect (don't overmix or the colors will blend too much). Sprinkle the top with edible glitter, star-shaped sprinkles, or pearl sugar to represent stars in your galaxy.

Step 05

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven for 1 hour. This gradual cooling helps prevent cracking. After cooling in the oven, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

  1. For an even more spectacular galaxy effect, consider adding additional colors like pink or a touch of white to represent nebulae or distant stars. You can also brush the top with edible silver or gold luster dust after chilling for an extra celestial shimmer.
