Ingredients




2 pkgs Cream cheese, softened (8 ounces each)
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 cup Sour cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Orange extract
2 dshs Yellow food color
1 dsh Red food color
One 9-inch graham cracker pie crust

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs; beat well. Add the sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Place 1 cup of the mixture in a small bowl and stir in the orange extract and the yellow and red food colors. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture into the pie crust. 2 Drop the orange cream cheese mixture into it by spoonfuls and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until firm around the edges. (The center will be slightly loose.) 3 Allow to cool for 1 hour then cover and chill for at least 8 hours before serving. 4 NOTE: For a nice finishing touch, top each slice of cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping and half an orange slice just before serving.
