Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Biscuit Base:

1 1/2 cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the Topping (Optional):

Food coloring (red, yellow, blue, green) for house colors

Whipped cream, for garnish

Chocolate shavings or edible glitter, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan.

For the biscuit base, combine the crushed biscuits, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Press the mixture into the base of the prepared pan, ensuring it's even. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

For the cheesecake filling, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, heavy cream, and flour. Mix until fully combined.

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled biscuit base. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.

Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Once chilled, divide the whipped cream into separate bowls and tint each with the house colors (red for Gryffindor, yellow for Hufflepuff, blue for Ravenclaw, and green for Slytherin).

Carefully pipe the colored whipped cream onto the cheesecake in a circular pattern, representing the house colors. Garnish with chocolate shavings or edible glitter for a magical touch.

Slice, serve, and enjoy your magical Harry Potter Cheesecake!
