I promised my niece that I would bring one amazing cheesecake for her birthday. It’s a simple celebration with the family, and there’s no need for anything fancy. I decided to make this unicorn cheesecake for her birthday and she super loved it! She didn’t want to share until one of us told her that “rainbows” were meant to be shared for them to become colorful. Everyone enjoyed a small slice of this cheesecake. I wish I made at least two so they could have enjoyed bigger slices!
See what our friends from Delish have to say about this sinful cheesecake recipe:
“The most *~magical~* cheesecake on the internet.”
It definitely is! When I took this out of the box and laid it on the table during that party, my niece immediately asked how the colors happened. The kids flocked around the cake and they all looked like they were wondering the exact same thing.
So I told them what I felt was the correct explanation: “This cake is made through magic!”
