Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
  2. Mix the Crust: Combine melted salted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl and press into the prepared pan.
  3. Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Blend the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Layer the Filling: Pour half of the filling into the chilled crust, then mix gel blue food coloring into the remaining filling and pour over the first layer.
  6. Add Decorations: Crush half of the Robin's Egg Malt Balls and sprinkle them over the filling, dusting with cocoa powder and adding remaining candies for decoration.
  7. Chill: Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 to 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  8. Serve: Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled, optionally with whipped cream.
