Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until sandy. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes, then cool completely.
In an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and vanilla, then mix in eggs one at a time until just combined.
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened. Divide into two bowls and color one green and the other purple.
Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drizzle the green and purple mixtures on top, then swirl gently with a toothpick.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains slightly wobbly.
Cool gradually in the oven with the door open, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
Decorate with additional swirls and edible glitter before serving.
