Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- Food coloring (assorted rainbow colors)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix in eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
- Divide and Color: Divide the cheesecake mixture into several bowls, depending on how many colors you want (typically 5-6 for a full rainbow). Add food coloring to each bowl and stir until the colors are vibrant.
- Create the Swirls: Pour the colored cheesecake mixtures onto the cooled crust, spooning them in randomly. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the colors together gently, creating a beautiful rainbow pattern.
- Bake the Bars: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice into bars and enjoy the colorful, creamy layers of this cheerful dessert!
