Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Swirl Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers in a food processor until fine. Combine crumbs with melted butter and mix until wet sand texture. Press into pie dish and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
- Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until fully incorporated and lump-free, about another 2 minutes.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Ensure it holds shape but remains light and airy.
- Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula until uniform and fluffy.
- Divide filling into bowls based on color choices. Add gel food coloring and mix until desired pastel shades are achieved, maintaining distinct colors.
- Layer colored fillings into the crust, alternating for swirls. Use a knife or skewer to gently mix layers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Notes
Ensure graham cracker crust is compact and chilled. Use powdered sugar for smooth filling. Chill ingredients before whipping. Handle filling gently to keep colors distinct.
