Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat room temperature cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time, mixing on low. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Divide the filling into two bowls. Mix green food coloring into one bowl. Alternate spoonfuls of plain and colored filling in the springform pan. Swirl together with a knife.
  4. Bake for 55-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let cool for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to come to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Remove from the springform pan, garnish with mint leaves or chocolate shavings, slice, and serve.
