Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan.

- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into six bowls. Tint each bowl with a different food coloring.
- Dollop the colored batters on top of the cooled crust, swirling them together for a rainbow effect.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- For the drip, heat 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan until warm. Stir in food coloring and a bit more sugar if needed.
- Pour the colored ganache over the chilled cheesecake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Top with whipped cream and extra Oreos for decoration.
