Ingredients
Scale
- 30 Oreo cookies
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 – 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- red & blue gel food colors
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9×13 inch pan with foil.
- In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they become crumbs.
- Mix in the melted butter until combined and press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.
- Place a large baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and fill it halfway with water to create steam. Preheat the oven again.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add the sour cream, vanilla, and flour, then mix well.
- Add the eggs and beat gently until just combined.
- Divide the batter into three bowls. Tint two bowls with red and blue food coloring, respectively.
- Spoon the colored mixtures over the crust in alternating layers. Use a butter knife to create a swirl pattern, being careful not to over-mix.
- Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, then remove from the oven and place on a wire rack.
- Let it cool for 1 hour before refrigerating for 4-6 hours.
- Once chilled, cut into squares and serve with whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
You can use different colors for a fun twist depending on the occasion.
Allowing the cheesecake to chill fully improves the flavors and texture.
