4. Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix in on low speed. Add more food coloring if needed.
5. Spread 1 Tablespoon of mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner (The mixture will be very sticky).
6. Bake 6-7 minutes to pre-bake the crust (slightly prebaked crust will rise and sink in the center, and that’s OK).

Add the egg white and vanilla and mix on medium speed until combined. Do not overbeat or the cheesecake will crack. Add 2-3 Tablespoon of cheesecake mixture on top of the red velvet, spreading it to completely covers.
