How to Make Pink Champagne Cheesecake:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
   • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
   • Add the heavy cream, pink champagne, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. The center should still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
   • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
4. Chill and Serve:
   • After the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
   • Before serving, top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries or raspberries if desired. For an extra touch of sparkle, sprinkle with edible glitter or pink sugar.

Tips:

• Avoid Cracking: Ensure the cheesecake is fully cooled before refrigerating to minimize cracking.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute pink champagne with sparkling water or a fruit juice for a non-alcoholic option.
• Flavor Variations: Add a swirl of fruit puree or chocolate for a different flavor twist.

Make a Healthier Version:

• Low-Fat Version: Use light cream cheese and reduce the amount of sugar for a lighter cheesecake.
• Gluten-Free Crust: Use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or crushed nuts for the crust.
