Ingredients
- Premade graham cracker crust (or homemade)
- Cream cheese
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Lemon juice
- Vanilla extract
- Heavy cream
- Gel food coloring (pastel colors like pink, yellow, and purple)
- Fresh fruit (optional for garnish)
- Sugar (for sweetening the whipped cream)
- Whipped topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Divide the Filling: Separate the filling into bowls and add a few drops of gel food coloring to each, mixing until you achieve pastel colors.
- Swirl the Colors: Spoon the colored filling into the graham cracker crust in layers, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the colors together.
- Chill the Pie: Smooth the top with a spatula and chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh fruit or whipped topping. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Gel Food Coloring: Gel food coloring provides more vibrant colors than liquid food coloring.
- Whip the Cream Properly: Ensure stiff peaks before folding the whipped cream into the filling for a light texture.
- Chill Long Enough: Chill for a few hours to allow the filling to set properly.
- Customize Garnishes: Add edible flowers, fruit, or a drizzle of fruit puree for extra elegance.
