Ingredients
- 2 package Cream cheese, softened (8 ounces each)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Orange extract
- 2 dash Yellow food color
- 1 dash Red food color
- 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
Step 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.
Step 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.)
Step 3
Allow to cool for 1 hour then cover and chill for at least 8 hours before serving.
Step 4
Optional serving suggestion: 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.
