Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just combined.
Divide the batter into separate bowls and tint each with gel food coloring.
Spoon dollops of colored batter into the prepared pan, alternating colors to create swirls using a skewer or knife.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Allow cooling in the oven for an hour before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
