Colorful and fun rainbow cheesecake swirl bars with a creamy texture and a graham cracker crust, perfect for parties or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 2/3 cup sugar and mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
  5. Divide the cheesecake batter into six bowls. Tint each bowl with a different food coloring.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of each color over the crust, alternating to create a rainbow effect. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the colors together.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the center is just set. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Cut into bars and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for more vibrant hues.
  • Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
  • Chill thoroughly before cutting for clean slices.
