Big thanks to Disney for sponsoring this post!
Helloooo there and welcome back!! 😄 Today we are making some Mini No-Bake Galaxy Cheesecakes inspired by Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time! I absolutely loved the movie, and was especially inspired by the science aspects in it. Since the characters travel throughout the universe in their adventure, I thought these galaxy cheesecakes would be the perfect treat to enjoy while you watch the movie! 😊 Enjoy!!
Ingredients
- 6 full sheets of graham crackers
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 package of gelatin (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 cup boiling hot water
- 2 (8 oz) packages of softened cream cheese (very important that it’s room temp! Otherwise you’ll get lumps in your cheesecakes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food color in blue, turquoise, purple, and white
- Optional: White and chocolate candy melts
- Optional: Galaxy sprinkles
Directions
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until finely ground. Pour over the butter and continue pulsing until combined (mixture should look like wet sand). Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the crust into each cavity of a mini cheesecake pan and press down with your fingers or a smalll glass. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the white sugar and gelatin until combined. Pour in the boiling hot water and stir until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract, then slowly add in the gelatin mixture. Only add about 1/4 – 1/3 cup at a time to prevent lumps. Divide the cheesecake mixture between four bowls and color one of each dark blue, turquoise, light blue, and purple.
- Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the cheesecake crust, making sure to alternate colors. Swirl the mixture together using a toothpick.
- For stars, mix together 1 drop of white food color with 1/4 teaspoon of water. Using a food-safe paintbrush, splatter the mixture over the cheesecakes to create stars. Refrigerate the cheesecakes for 2-3 hours or until completely set.
- Meanwhile, spoon melted white candy melts into a star mold and let set completely. Remove from the mold and add kawaii faces using the chocolate candy melts and a toothpick if desired.
- Gently remove the cheesecakes from the pan and remove the removable bottom. Transfer to a serving plate. Refrigerate until served.
- To decorate, place the stars on top of the cheesecakes along with galaxy sprinkles just before serving.
