Ingredients

  • 12 Shortbread Cookies we used Keebler brand
  • 1 Tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin
  • 2 Tablespoons of cold water
  • 2 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sweet Cream Creamer at room temperature
  • Concentrated Gel Food Coloring
  • Whipped cream optional
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Use a food processor to turn your shortbread cookies into crumbs.
  • In a large bowl, mix the butter and shortbread crumbs together with a fork.
  • Place your silicone baking dish on a cookie sheet and then spoon the crumb mixture into the six silicone cups. Spoon it in evenly and then smash it down firmly with your fingers.
  • In a separate bowl, pour in the packet of gelatin.
  • Add the cold water to the gelatin and whisk until mixed thoroughly.
  • Set the bowl aside and let the gel harden (this will take a few minutes)
  • Use an electric mixer and beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until it's smooth.
  • Add in the sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt and mix until well combined.
  • Microwave the hardened gelatin for about ten seconds.
  • Slowly add in the room temperature creams into the cream cheese mixture while your electric mixer is running.
  • Finally pour the gelatin into the cream cheese mixture and use the electric mixture to mix it in.
  • Divide your cream cheese mixture into as many bowls as you want colors.
  • Use a concentrated gel food coloring to achieve the color you want. Do not use liquid. I simply dipped my mixing fork just into the tip of the food dye mixture to achieve the colors pictured.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture in, one color at a time, on top of the crusts in the silicone pan. Remember the edges are what's going to show the color, so don't just pour into the middle.
  • Fill each mold to the top.
  • Place on a flat surface in the freezer uncovered for 2-4 hours.
  • Remove from the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Top with whipped cream and sprinkles to finish.
