Description
Easter Swirl Pie is a no-bake dessert with a creamy, pastel-colored filling swirled in a buttery graham cracker crust. It’s festive, fun, and perfect for spring celebrations like Easter.
Ingredients
2½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla cookie crumbs)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp granulated sugar
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Gel food coloring in pastel shades (pink, blue, yellow, purple)
Whipped cream for garnish
Easter sprinkles and mini chocolate eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Blend in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula.
- Divide the filling evenly into four bowls. Add a different pastel gel food coloring to each and mix until colors are even.
- Spoon alternating dollops of each colored filling into the chilled crust. Swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Cover the pie loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream, Easter sprinkles, and mini chocolate eggs, if desired.
Notes
Use vanilla cookies instead of graham crackers for a sweeter crust.
Add lemon zest to the filling for a citrus twist.
Experiment with different color themes for other holidays.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze without toppings for up to a month and thaw in the fridge before serving.
