Ingredients
Crust
- 1 pre-made pre-made graham cracker crust store-bought or homemade
Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream for whipping
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberry pie filling or fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberry pie filling or fresh strawberries
- whipped cream Whipped cream for topping optional
- fresh berries Fresh berries for garnish optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
Whipping Cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Combining Mixtures
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Adding the Filling
- Scoop out about half of the cream mixture and set it aside. Stir the blueberry pie filling into the remaining half, blending well.
Layering the Mixtures
- Spoon the blueberry mixture into the bottom of the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth it out evenly.
- Add the reserved cream mixture over the blueberry layer, smoothing it out gently.
- Spoon the strawberry pie filling on top and use a knife or skewer to create swirls for a marbled effect.
Chilling
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Serving
- Once chilled, top with additional whipped cream and fresh berries before serving.
Notes
Softening cream cheese aids in mixing. Allow the pie to set overnight for best results.
