Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9×13 pan with foil.
In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they become crumbs.
Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until combined, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
Place a large baking sheet filled halfway with water on the bottom rack of the oven, then allow the oven to preheat again.
Beat the cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Incorporate the sour cream, vanilla, and flour and mix again.
Gently add the eggs and beat until combined.
Divide the batter into three bowls, and tint two of those bowls with red and blue gel food colors respectively.
Spoon the colored batter over the crust alternatively; use a butter knife to create swirls without over-mixing.
Bake the pan above the water-filled baking sheet for 45-50 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
After one hour on the counter, refrigerate for 4-6 hours before cutting into squares and serving with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
You can adjust the color intensity with more or less food color based on your preference.
Refrigerating the cheesecake bars longer helps improve the texture and flavor.
