Description
This Easter swirl pie is a no-bake spring dessert made with a buttery graham cracker crust and creamy pastel-colored filling. A festive and fun treat that’s perfect for kids and holiday gatherings!
Ingredients
2 ½ cups (250g) graham cracker crumbs
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
½ cup (100g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (120ml) sweetened condensed milk
Gel food coloring (pastel pink, blue, yellow, purple)
Whipped cream (for garnish)
Easter sprinkles and mini chocolate eggs (for garnish)
Instructions
1: 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.
2: 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.
3: 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!)
4: 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
Use gel food coloring to avoid thinning the filling.
Don’t over-swirl or the colors will blend too much.
Chill thoroughly before slicing for clean, firm pieces.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
