Description

This Easter Swirl Pie features a buttery graham cracker crust filled with a creamy, pastel-colored swirled filling that’s perfect for spring celebrations. The pie combines smooth cream cheese, fluffy whipped cream, and sweetened condensed milk, all tinted with soft gel food colors to create a stunning marbled effect. Chilled to set, it’s a refreshing no-bake dessert that delights both the eyes and the palate.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 ½ cups (250 g) graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla cookie crumbs)
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar

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, or preferred colors)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
  2. Prepare the crust mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the crumbs are evenly coated with butter and sugar.
  3. Form the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, creating an even base and edge for the pie.
  4. Bake the crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until set and slightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  5. Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  6. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it is firm enough to fold into the filling.
  7. Combine filling ingredients: Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese, mixing thoroughly until fully combined and smooth.
  8. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, mixing until the filling is light, fluffy, and homogenous.
  9. Color the filling: Divide the creamy filling evenly into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want to use. Add a few drops of different gel food coloring to each bowl and mix gently for pastel hues.
  10. Create the swirl: Spoon dollops of each colored filling into the cooled crust. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl the colors together, creating a marbled, decorative effect.
  11. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the filling set properly.
  12. Serve: Slice the chilled pie and serve cold for a refreshing and festive dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can substitute vanilla cookie crumbs for graham cracker crumbs for a different flavor.
  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without thinning the filling.
  • The pie requires several hours of chilling, so prepare ahead of time for best results.
  • This pie is best served cold and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
