Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon orange extract
• 1 drop red food coloring
• 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
• 2 drops yellow food coloring
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup sour cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add eggs and beat well. Beat sour cream and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture until batter is smooth.

Step 3

Transfer one cup of the cream cheese mixture to a small bowl and stir in orange extract, yellow food coloring, and red food coloring until batter is smooth and orange.

Step 4

Pour uncolored batter into prepared graham cracker crust. Drop spoonfuls of orange batter over the top of the uncolored batter and run a knife through the orange batter to create a marbled effect.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are firm and center is slightly loose, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Cover cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
