Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with digestive biscuits or gluten-free graham crumbs for dietary needs.

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Can be replaced with melted coconut oil for dairy-free options.
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Vegan cream cheese works for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Substitute with Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Pure extract offers the best taste.
  • 3 Large Eggs For an egg-free alternative, consider using flax eggs.

Butterbeer Swirls
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Can substitute with half-and-half or coconut cream.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar White sugar can be used, but will lack the molasses flavor.

Prepare the Crust

Create the Butterbeer Swirls
