Make this visually stunning Pastel Easter Swirl Pie. This no bake cream cheese dessert features light, fluffy layers of pastel color swirled together for a perfect spring centerpiece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, green, lavender)
  • Optional: Extra whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the base filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
  3. Add flavor: Mix in the lemon juice and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. This is your base filling.
  5. Divide and color: Divide the base filling evenly into five small bowls. Add a small drop of a different pastel food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, green, lavender) to each bowl and gently stir until the color is uniform. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the swirl: Spoon alternating dollops of the five different colored fillings randomly into the chilled crust. Try to keep the colors separate initially.
  7. Create the swirl: Use a butter knife or a skewer to gently drag through the colors a few times to create a marbled, swirled effect. Do not over-swirl, or the colors will blend into one.
  8. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pie is firm.
  9. Serve: Before serving, you may top with extra whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy your colorful holiday pie.

Notes

  • For the brightest pastel colors, use gel food coloring sparingly. A little goes a long way.
  • If you do not have five colors, you can use three or four, just ensure you have enough filling to cover the crust completely.
  • This no bake Easter pie sets best when chilled for the full recommended time.
