This Shamrock Swirl Pie is a creamy, no-bake dessert with a festive green and white swirl—perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any celebration! With a light marshmallow-cream cheese filling and a buttery graham cracker crust, this pie is as easy to make as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup green food coloring (divided)
- 1/4 cup white food coloring
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined.
- Color the Mixture: Divide the cream mixture into two bowls. Stir green food coloring into one and white food coloring into the other.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the green mixture and the other half into the white mixture.
- Create the Swirl Effect: Spoon alternating dollops of green and white mixtures into the graham cracker crust. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the two colors together for a marbled look.
- Chill & Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Garnish & Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Dairy-Free Alternative: Use coconut whipped cream, dairy-free cream cheese, and condensed coconut milk.
- Extra Flavor: Add 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract for a minty twist.
