Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Gel food coloring (yellow, pink, blue, green)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Whip Cream: Gradually add the heavy cream and milk to the cream cheese mixture, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
  3. Divide and Color: Split the creamy mixture evenly into separate bowls, one for each color you want. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and stir until you reach your desired hue.
  4. Assemble Pie: Spoon each colored mixture carefully into the graham cracker crust in sections. Use a spoon or toothpick to create swirls by gently dragging through the colors in the crust.
  5. Swirl Colors: With the back of a spoon, carefully swirl the colors together on the top for a marbled, festive pattern without mixing them too much.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is fully set and firm to the touch.
  7. Serve: Before serving, top the pie with dollops of whipped cream and optionally add a few extra swirls of colored filling for decoration.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring rather than liquid for more vibrant colors without altering the filling’s consistency.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can prepare the pie a day ahead for best flavor and texture.
  • For added texture, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top before serving.
  • Keep the pie refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain its shape.
