Hot off the heels of no bake unicorn poop cheesecake, this no bake rainbow cheesecake is another way to make a striking and delicious dessert that fulfills a gorgeous party table, a birthday or even just a fun way to enjoy a treat that WOWs! You will love creating this cheesecake so much that eating it is just a bonus. Scroll below for instructions on how to make a no bake rainbow cheesecake, including a printable version at the bottom of the post.

Before you get started, you should have all your items prepped. While most of the items you can grab at the store, the one item when it comes to making colorful food that I highly recommend is the Wiltons Color Performance Right dye. Its great for beautiful desserts and food preps and I even use it for crafts like my rainbow fluffy slime! This is the only dye I have found that doesn’t water down my food and has consistently pretty colors. With amazon prime you can have it there in 2 days, so even better!

No Bake Rainbow Cheesecake

• 3-8oz packages cream cheese
• 3/4 cups white sugar
• 3 cups cool whip
• Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple gel food dye
• 1 1/2 cups graham crumbs or oreo crumbs
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup each red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple candy melts
• 3 Tablespoons shortening or coconut oil
• Rainbow sprinkles

How to make a No Bake Rainbow Cheesecake

Line and grease a 6″ springform pan.
Combine the graham crumbs and melted butter in a bowl.
Press the graham crackers 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.

Separate the cream cheese mixture into 6 bowls and add a couple drops of each dye to each and stir to incorporate, then add 3 Tablespoons of cool whip to each bowl and mix until just combined.
Remove the graham 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 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 springform 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, about 10 minutes, before serving.
