RED, WHITE AND BLUE CHEESECAKE
The marbled effect in this Americana-inspired dessert is easier to achieve than it looks -- all it takes is alternating scoops of colored cheesecake batter, and then a simple wooden skewer does the rest.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
- For the crust: Toss together the graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely. Wrap the bottom and sides of pan up with a large piece of foil and put in a large roasting pan.
- For the filling: Beat together the cream cheese and sugar, in a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sour cream, and beat until just combined. Add the heavy cream and beat until just combined. Mix in the eggs, by hand, 1 at time. Mix in the vanilla and lemon juice, by hand, until just combined. (Take care not to overmix, or the cheesecake will turn into a soufflé!).
- Ladle out 2 cups of cheesecake batter and divide between 2 bowls. Color 1 bowl with red food coloring and 1 with blue food coloring. Leave the remaining batter white.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon, and drop scoopfuls of the batter onto the crust, alternating between the different colors until all the batter is gone. Use a long wooden skewer and drag it through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches down to the bottom of the pan, in 4 swipes, to marble the colors for a tie dye effect. Transfer the springform pan to the roasting pan. Add enough hot water to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan.
- Bake until the outside of the cake is set, but the center is still slightly loose, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour. Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
- Unmold the cheesecake and transfer to a serving plate or cake stand.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out at all. The crust was soggy and the cheesecake filling was curdled. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
Shahid Ramzan
[email protected]I was disappointed with this cheesecake. The crust was too crumbly and the cheesecake filling was too dense. I also didn't like the flavor of the berries on top.

[email protected]This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The crust was nice and thick, and the cheesecake filling was creamy and smooth. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your desserts too sweet.
