    Everybody loves sprinkles, right? This is a fun cheesecake to bake and eat.

    I make no apologies for using the same cheesecake base recipe over and over. This cheesecake base is the most decadent, rich, and most delicious cheesecake ever. Adding sprinkles to my favorite cheesecake recipe and calling it “funfetti” cheesecake was the perfect excuse for making it again. I baked 3 plain cheesecakes for Christmas so I thought I was cheesecaked out. I wasn’t.

    Like I mention in the video, I think it’s all about the quality of the cream cheese. If you use good quality softened cream cheese and bake it how I suggest, you will have a delicious well-baked cheesecake. I don’t care if you add rainbow sprinkles or chopped drained pineapples ( my absolute fave) this base recipe is honestly the best.

    Creamy and colorful! This is a dessert you eat with your eyes first.
