# Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar

# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence. Whisk until the mixture turns smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping to form a fluffy and uniform filling.

Scoop small spoonfuls of each colored filling into the graham cracker crust, placing them randomly. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled design, being cautious not to over mix.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for a minimum of 4 hours, or leave it overnight, until the filling becomes firm and set.

Before serving, apply whipped cream on top and sprinkle with festive decorations. Slice the pie into portions and delight in this colorful Easter Swirl Pie!
