For the Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese Use vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar.
  3. Press this mixture into the prepared pie dish to form an even crust. Bake for 8–10 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  5. Gradually incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed.
  6. Fold in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well blended.
  7. Divide the cheesecake filling into four bowls and add gel food coloring to each.
  8. Spoon dollops of colored filling into the cooled crust, alternating colors.
  9. Swirl the colors gently with a toothpick, creating a marbled effect.
  10. Bake the pie for 35–40 minutes until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
  11. Cool gradually in the oven for 15 minutes, then transfer to room temperature.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
