Patriotic Cheesecake {Project #5}


I saw this on one of my crafty blogs yesterday and the girls decided we should make it.  I thought I took a picture of it once we cut it but it wasn't on my camera.  The "crust" layer is actually a brownie layer.  You bake the brownie layer and while it cools you make the cheesecake batter.  I poured half the batter on and divided the rest in two bowls.  We dyed them red and blue (a LOT of dye if you're using regular food coloring) and made alternating red and blue lines.  Then I took a knife and swirled them.  Um, yum.  It was tasty.  Seriously.  I was trying to decide why they said it should cool for three hours.  Claudia and I decided we needed to try it anyway.  We learned the three hours is for it to set.  Next time we'll wait longer.  It looks so pretty when it's sliced!!!  This one's definitely a keeper.
