Ingredients:

1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed
2 tbsp. white sugar
5 tbsp. salted butter, melted
cream cheese
2 cups whipped cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 tsp. unflavored gelatin
2 tbsp. water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
food coloring (blue, yellow and pink)
lemon juice
pastry cream (for garnish)

Directions:

To prepare the crust, grind the graham crackers in a food processor, then mix in a bowl with 2 tablespoons white sugar and butter.
Measure 1 cup of this crust mixture and place it in a lined pie pan. Refrigerate while you make the cheesecake filling.
In a blender, combine cream cheese, whipped cream, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Blend well.
In a separate bowl, combine gelatin with water. Microwave for 10 seconds until it is liquified.
Combine the filling with the gelatin, then divide into 4 small bowls. Add a different food coloring to each bowl.
Pour the first layer of filling in the mold, then freeze for 20 minutes.
Remove and add another color, making sure the colors are firm before adding the next. After the last color, refrigerate the cake for 3-4 hours or until your cheesecake is secure.
Remove the cheesecake from the mold, then decorate with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. Enjoy!
