How to Make Easter Swirl Pie

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set while you make the filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Create the Swirls

1. Divide the filling evenly into four bowls.
2. Add a few drops of pastel food coloring to each bowl (pink, blue, yellow, and purple), stirring gently until evenly colored.
3. Spoon dollops of each color randomly over the crust.
4. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-mix!

Step 4: Chill & Serve

1. Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.
2. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, sprinkles, pastel candies, or white chocolate shavings.

Tips for the Perfect Swirl Pie

✔️ Chill for Best Results: The pie needs a few hours in the fridge to set properly—overnight is even better!
✔️ Don’t Over-Swirl: A few gentle swirls will create a beautiful marble effect; too much mixing will blend the colors.
✔️ Use Gel Food Coloring: It provides vibrant colors without adding extra liquid to the filling.
✔️ Make it Ahead: This pie stays fresh for 3-4 days in the refrigerator, making it the perfect make-ahead dessert!
