Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla cookie crumbs)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the Swirled Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- Gel food coloring (pastel colors like pink, blue, yellow, purple)
For Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Easter sprinkles
- Mini chocolate eggs or pastel candies
Instructions
-
Prepare the crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. -
Make the creamy filling:
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk; mix until well combined. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. -
Create the swirl effect:
Divide the filling into four bowls, adding a few drops of gel food coloring to each. Spoon dollops of each color into the prepared crust and use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together to create a marbled effect. -
Chill and set:
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm. Before serving, top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and mini chocolate eggs.
Notes
- You can make this pie up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies for the crust.
- To add more flavor to the filling, consider incorporating fruit extracts like strawberry or lemon.
