Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place a large rimmed baking sheet on the bottom of the oven. Fill about halfway with water.

Roll out pie dough and place in a buttered 9 inch pie plate. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Cheesecake

Beat cream cheese until creamy. Add in sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth.

Mix in egg and beat until full incorporated. Do not over mix. Gently fold in sprinkles.

Pour into pie crust.

Place in the center of the oven, and bake for 30 minutes. The cheesecake may puff up slightly, but will flatten as it cools.

Remove from the oven and place on wire rack. Let cool for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for 2-3 hours until completely chilled.

For the Mousse

Using the whisk attachment beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Beat cream cheese until creamy. Add in sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth.

Reserve 1/2 cup of the prepared whipped cream. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the 2 Tbls sprinkles and spread evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake.

Sprinkle with the remaining 2 Tbls of sprinkles. Swirl the reserved whipped cream around the edges of the pie.
