This delightful no-bake Easter Swirl Pie is as delicious as it is beautiful, featuring a creamy pastel filling and a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 to 6 drops assorted pastel gel food coloring
- 1 cup whipped cream for topping
- 2 tablespoons Easter sprinkles for garnish
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate eggs or pastel candies for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie dish.
- Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese and beat until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling is smooth and fluffy.
- Divide the filling evenly into four small bowls and tint each portion with a few drops of different pastel gel food colorings, stirring gently to blend.
- Spoon dollops of each colored filling randomly into the chilled pie crust, alternating colors to create layers.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl through the filling to create a marbled effect, being careful not to overmix the colors.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Just before serving, top the pie with whipped cream, Easter sprinkles, and mini chocolate eggs or pastel candies.
Notes
- You can use vanilla wafer cookie crumbs in place of graham cracker crumbs for a slightly sweeter crust.
- For the cleanest slices, chill the pie overnight and wipe the knife clean between cuts.
