- Add white chocolate to a medium bowl, and pour the glaze over top. Use an inversion blender to mix until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to filter the glaze, then split it among 3 bowls.
- Add white food coloring to all 3 bowls, then add as much blue food coloring as desired to 2 of the bowls, making one darker than the other.
- Pour the two glazes with lighter colors into the glaze with the darkest color, then mix slightly.
- Pour the combined glaze over the finished cheesecake.
- Once the glaze dries, cut off the dripping parts with a knife, then transfer to a plate to slice and serve.
