Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz butter cookies
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp candy confetti
  • 3 cups cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cream
  • 6 gelatin sheets
  • 5 different food colorings

Instructions
 

  • Crumble the butter cookies and mix them with the melted butter and candy confetti. Pour the mix into the springform pan and press it down with a spoon. Refrigerate until hard.
  • Mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Soften the gelatin in water, heat the cream, and dissolve the softened gelatin sheets in it by stirring. Now add this to the cream cheese mix and stir.
  • Separate the cream into five equal portions. Color each portion with a different food coloring. Now pour the colored creams onto the crust (anywhere you want) one tablespoon at a time. To smooth out the cream, bang the springform on the table several times.
