Creamsicle Cheesecake

More like a cheese pie than a cheesecake it tastes like a creamsicle! The recipe comes from Mr. Food. Prep time does not include cooling and chilling time.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Yields: 1 cheesecake

Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce)  cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 2  eggs
• 3⁄4 cup sour cream
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1  teaspoon  orange extract
• 2  drops  yellow food coloring
• 1  drop  red food coloring
• 1  9-inch graham cracker crumb crust

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350º. 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.
2. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture into the pie crust. Drop the orange cream cheese mixture into it by spoonfuls and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until firm around the edges. The center will be slightly loose. Allow to cool for 1 hour then cover and chill for at least 8 hours before serving.
