Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
• In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
• Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the crust to set.
2. Prepare the Filling
• Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
• Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix until fully incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring a smooth and airy texture.
3. Assemble the Swirl Pie
• Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
• Slightly warm both jams in the microwave (about 10 seconds) to loosen their consistency.
• Drop small spoonfuls of each jam over the surface of the filling.
• Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the jams into the filling to create a red, white, and blue marbled effect. Add food coloring to the jams if you desire more vibrant colors.
4. Chill
• Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
5. Serve
• Garnish with fresh raspberries and blueberries.
• Slice, serve cold, and enjoy your festive treat!
