Description

Celebrate spring with this stunning Easter Swirl Pie! A crisp, buttery graham cracker crust holds a silky, creamy filling swirled with pastel colors for a festive and delightful dessert that’s perfect for any Easter gathering or spring celebration.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 ½ cups (250 g) graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla cookie crumbs)

  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tbsp sugar

For the Swirled 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

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated.

  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

  • Bake crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

  • In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.

  • Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese, mixing until combined.

  • Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

  • Divide filling evenly into separate bowls (one for each gel color you plan to use). Add a few drops of different gel food coloring to each bowl and mix gently until you achieve desired pastel shades.

  • Spoon dollops of each colored filling into the cooled crust, layering and swirling with a butter knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.

  • Chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.

  • Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use pastel gel food coloring sparingly for soft, Easter-appropriate hues.

  • You can substitute crushed vanilla wafers for the crust for a sweeter twist.

  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
