In the last bowl, add the Blue Raspberry Lemonade Koolaid, and 2 heaping Tablespoons of sugar, and stir well to blend. Add several drops of Wilton Blue Food Coloring Gel, and mix well.

  7. When the Red Cheesecake is set, or firm to the touch, remove the pan, and pour the White layer of Cheesecake Batter into the pan, on top of the Red layer, and place the pan back in the Freezer, until the White layer is set, 2 to 3 hours.
  8. When the White layer is firm to the touch, Remove the Blue Cheesecake Batter from the refrigerator, and pour the Blue layer on top of the White layer, and place the pan back in the Freezer, over night for best results.
