Description

Easter Swirl Pie is a vibrant, no-bake dessert that combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a creamy, pastel-colored filling. Its festive appearance and delightful taste make it an ideal treat for Easter gatherings.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups (250 g) graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla cookie crumbs)
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • Gel food coloring (pastel pink, blue, yellow, purple, etc.)

For Garnish:

  • Whipped cream
  • Easter sprinkles
  • Mini chocolate eggs or pastel candies

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:

    • In a medium bowl, combine 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, compacting it with the back of a spoon or measuring cup.
    • Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
  • Make the Creamy Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened 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.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • For a firmer pie, freeze for 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to avoid watering down the filling.
  • To make ahead, prepare the pie up to 2 days in advance and keep refrigerated.
