Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 ½ cups (250 g) graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla cookie crumbs)
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the Swirled Filling:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (100 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- Gel food coloring (pastel pink, blue, yellow, purple, etc.)
For Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Easter sprinkles
- Mini chocolate eggs or pastel candies
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the back of a spoon or measuring cup to compact it.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
- Make the Creamy Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Create the Swirl Effect:
- Divide the filling evenly into four small bowls.
- Add a few drops of pastel gel food coloring to each bowl, creating pink, blue, yellow, and purple shades.
- Spoon dollops of each color randomly into the prepared pie crust, layering different colors.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect. (Be careful not to overmix!)
- Chill & Set:
- Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow it to firm up.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream, Easter sprinkles, and mini chocolate eggs for a festive touch!
Notes
- For best results, allow the pie to chill overnight to let the filling set completely.
- You can use any gel food coloring you prefer, or even just one color for a simpler look.
- If you don’t have graham cracker crumbs, vanilla wafer crumbs work well as a substitute.
