Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 60 Nilla Wafers
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup butter melted

For the Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Gel food coloring pink, blue, yellow, and purple

Instructions

For the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Crush Nilla wafers in a food processor or by hand in a large ziploc bag.
  • Transfer Nilla wafer crumbs to a medium mixing bowl. Add sugar and melted butter. Work together with a fork.
  • Transfer mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Allow to completely cool.

For the Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk. Beat again until mixture is uniform.
  • In a separate small mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the heavy whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  • Separate mixture into 4 bowls equally. Add one color of food coloring to each bowl. The amount of food coloring you will need depends on the type you are using.
  • Mixture until colors are smooth.
  • Randomly place spoonfuls of each color in the prepared crust.
  • Using a toothpick, swirl the colors together to create a marble look. Be sure not to overstir.
  • Chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours prior to serving.
  • Top with whipped cream and Easter sprinkles.

Notes

  • Chill the Crust: To help your crust set, you can keep it in the fridge while you prepare the filling. This can help prevent it from becoming soggy once the filling is added.
  • Swirling Tips: You can use a toothpick, skewer, or knife to gently swirl the colors together. Be careful not to over mix.
  • Add Food Coloring Gradually: To keep your colors light, gradually add food coloring until it is the desired shade. Adding too much can leave you with dark colors instead of pastel.
  • Slice with a Warm Knife: To get cleaner slices, run a knife under warm water before slicing.
