Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, mix sour cream and heavy cream until smooth.

Divide the cream cheese mixture into several bowls (one for each color).

Add food coloring to each bowl, mixing until desired colors are achieved.

Pour the colored mixtures into the crust, layering them one at a time.

Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
