How To Make game day nacho cheesecake

  • 1
    Cheesecake: Beat cream cheese with mixer until smooth. add 2/3 cup sugar, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla; beat well. Beat in eggs one at a time. Tint the batter orange with yellow and red food coloring.
  • 2
    Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Pour batter in pan; bake at 350^ until puffed and almost set about 25-30 minutes. Mix sour cream and remaining sugar; spread over the hot cheesecake and bake 5 minutes more.Let cool, then chill for 2 hours.
  • 3
    Chips: Unroll the pie dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to flatten slightly. Brush the dough with the milk and sprinkle with the sugar. Cut the dough into 2 1/2 inch wide strips. Cut each strip into as many 2 1/2 inch triangles as possible. Place the triangles about 1 inch apart on 2 parchment lined baking sheets. Bake in batches at 450^ until lightly golden about 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.

    Salsa and Garnish: Cut the Swedish Fish into 1/2 inch pieces and toss with 2 Tablespoons strawberry jam. For the chiles- cut the green licorice on the diagonal into 1/8 inch slices. For olives-cut the black dots into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Use a small straw or pastry tip to remove a circle from the center of each round. Tint the sour cream orange- with yellow and red food coloring to look like melted cheese. Spoon the orange cream into a resealable plastic bag. Press out excess air and seal. Press pie chips into the cheesecake. Add the black licorice, chocolate-covered raisins and some green licorice and jam-coated Swedish fish.

    Snip a small corner from the bag of orange sour cream and pipe a few dots on the cheesecake for the melted cheese. Serve with the extra chips on the side, and make extra salsa by mixing leftover candies and jam.
