Easy Unicorn Cheesecake Bars

A simple, yet colorful, dessert recipe.

I think of these unicorn bars are a colorful dessert that everyone seems to enjoy eating!

Did you try my recipe for Monster M&M cookies?

That cookie is another colorful dessert or snack recipe that people really seem to like.
This recipe however, is really a colorful cheesecake bar rather than a cookie!

The colorful appearance in these cheesecake bars is made using Gel Food Coloring rather than the usual food coloring. Gel Food Coloring makes for a more vibrant color that you cannot get with basic food coloring.

Someone once asked me what does a unicorn eat.

Obviously, a unicorn is something that we have yet to see in real life.
But, if we were to meet up with a unicorn, it would probably look like a horse with a 'uni-corn', or horn, on the top of its head.

However, many of us would agree that unicorns are colorful.

And as a result of being colorful, unicorns like colorful food.
As a result, we have colorful unicorn cheesecake bars that we can share with unicorns (roll with it...).

I am sure that there is someone wondering what do you serve at a unicorn party.

I get this because colorful unicorn anything kind of makes us feel happy on the inside.
Perhaps, having a happy unicorn party can be a good idea for so many of us. 🙂

Here are some ideas for what to serve at a unicorn themed party of event.

• These unicorn cheesecake bars of course.
• Unicorn "Barf" Candy (this is real.)
• Or, Unicorn Slime.
• Unicorn Pudding.
• Popcorn for unicorns.
• Unicorn Poop (who knew?)
• And, Unicorn Mac and Cheese.

Here are some tips for making unusual cheesecake recipes.

I mentioned above that this recipe calls for using Gel Food Coloring rather than the usual food coloring. Gel food coloring comes in many vibrant colors that are essential for making about anything unicorn colorful!

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. This recipe calls for making a simple graham cracker crust. Feel free to use a premade crust instead or your choice of a similar crust that may work in this recipe as well.
2. Make this a keto, low carb, sugar free recipe. Simply use a sugar free/keto crust and sub in your choice of sugar alternative for the sugar in this recipe.
3. I always like to line a baking dish with parchment paper that overhangs the sides of the dish. This allows for easy transfer of the cooled bars for cutting, as well as for an easier clean up!

How to store cheesecake bars.

If you have leftover cheesecake bars, you can store them in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to a week. However, you can also freeze these bars.

Crush graham crackers if not already crushed. Place the crushed crackers with the melted butter in a mixing bowl along with the other ingredients. Mix them (hands work best) until they are able to bind together. Then press the mixture into a prepared baking dish and set aside.

How to make Easy Unicorn Cheesecake Bars.

1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth then add in sugar and sour cream and beat until smooth. Next, add the eggs one at a time, beating after each and then add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.

2. Separate the batter into medium sized bowls and dye them using gel colors. Add a different color of gel coloring to each bowl and mix until blended.

3. Spoon cheesecake batter from each medium bowl on top of crust. Be sure to keep the colors separated so that they do not bleed into one another. Smooth each color with the back of a spatula or spoon (one for each color).

4. Bake for 35-40 min, or until center is set and edges are just beginning to brown.
Remove the bars from the oven and let cool completely before placing in fridge.
Chill for a minimum of 2 hours in the refrigerator before slicing and serving.
