This no-bake unicorn cheesecake is surprisingly easy to make

And very Insta-friendly.

Unicorns are still the fantasy animal of the moment.

And why wouldn’t they be, in fairness?

What this means, of course, is that the trend for anything unicorn-themed or coloured isn’t going anywhere soon, so you might as well get on board.

Got a birthday party around the corner? May we suggest this insanely amazing unicorn cake blogger MomDot has come up with– which is actually rather easy to whip up (despite looking like the most impressive creation ever).

No Bake Unicorn Poop Cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 3-8oz packages cream cheese
  • 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 3 cups whipped cream
  • Pink, orange, blue and purple food colouring
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed digestive biscuits
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup each pink, orange, blue and purple candy melts
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • Unicorn sprinkles

Instructions

Line and grease a 6″ spring form pan.

Combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter in a bowl.

Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and set in the freezer for 10 minutes as you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Combine the cream cheese and sugar until light fully combined. Add in the whipped cream and mix until just combined.

Separate the cream cheese mixture into four bowls and add pink dye to one, orange to one, blue to one, and purple to the last. Stir to combine.

Remove the biscuit crust from the freezer and place large dollops of the filling all over the crust in a random pattern.

Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the cheesecake down.

Place in fridge and let set for at least 2 hours.

Place the pink, orange, blue and purple candy melts in small, separate bowls with 1/2 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil.

Heat for 35 seconds, stir, and reheat as necessary until the candy melts are smooth.

Let the candy melts cool as you carefully remove the cheesecake from your spring form pan and smooth down the edges as needed with an offset spatula (run it under hot water to help).

Drizzle the cooled candy melts all over the cheesecake and then sprinkle the unicorn sprinkles over top while the candy melts are still wet.

Let the candy melts dry for about ten minutes before serving.

YUM!
