  4. Divide filling into two bowls. Mix pink gel food coloring or strawberry powder into one bowl until evenly colored.
  5. Layer pink cheesecake filling over the crust, followed by a layer of white cheesecake filling, smoothing each layer.
  6. Top each jar with homemade whipped cream, pastel candy eggs, and sprinkles. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
