Method
 

Crust Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well integrated. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant, then allow it to cool completely.
Cheesecake Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Gradually mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time. Stir in the cream soda until the batter is rich and velvety.
Butterbeer Swirls
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter. Stir continuously until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Divide into bowls, adding gel food coloring to each for the vibrant house colors.
Assembly & Baking
  1. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Drizzle the butterbeer mixtures over the batter, swirling with a toothpick. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Chill & Serve
  1. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool for 1 hour. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with remaining butterbeer swirls before serving.
