Cheesecake Filling

- Add sour cream and vanilla, blending until combined.
- Incorporate eggs, one at a time, mixing gently. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
Make Butterscotch Swirls
- In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter. Stir until it boils, then simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Divide into two bowls; color one with green gel and the other with purple gel food coloring.
Final Assembly
- Drizzle colored butterscotch over cheesecake batter and swirl with a toothpick.
- Pour cheesecake batter over crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles.
- Cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once set, drizzle additional butterscotch and decorate with glitter or silver dust if desired.
- Slice with a hot knife for clean edges and serve.
