Ingredients
For the crust
- 9 graham crackers
- 6 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
For the cheesecake
- 2 8-oz. blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- kosher salt
- Neon food dye in four colors
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 325° and line a 8"-x-8” pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2Make crust: In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, blend graham crackers until fine crumbs form, then add to a bowl with butter and sugar and mix until combined. Press tightly into prepared pan.
- Step 3Make filling: In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined.
- Step 4Divide mixture between four small bowls (or one bowl for each color you're using) and add a couple drops of food coloring to each bowl. Stir to combine, adjusting color as desired. Add spoonfuls of the dyed cheesecake mixture to graham cracker crust, alternating colors until you’ve used up the whole mixture. Swirl colors together with a knife.
- Step 5Bake until only slightly jiggly, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate until firm, 3 hours, or up to overnight.
- Step 6Slice into bars and serve.
