🎅 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Base:
Combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press into a round pan to form the crust. Chill for 10 minutes.
2️⃣ Make the Batter:
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream. Mix until creamy.
3️⃣ Add the Color:
Divide the batter, tint a portion with green food coloring, and gently swirl for a marbled “tree” effect.
4️⃣ Bake with Love:
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 45–50 minutes. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
5️⃣ Decorate & Dazzle:
Pipe green whipped cream in a tree pattern, add edible stars, candy ornaments, and a dusting of sugar “snow.”
