Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Crush Oreo cookies and mix with melted butter. Line cupcake tins with paper liners and pack the mixture into each cup.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then incorporate eggs and vanilla until combined.
  3. Divide the mixture into three bowls. Add red food coloring to one, green to another, and leave the third plain.
  4. Layer the colored batters into the crusts, swirling with a toothpick for a marbled effect.
  5. Place a baking dish with water in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, allowing the centers to remain slightly wobbly.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before topping with whipped cream and sprinkles.
