No Bake Easter Swirl Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 180 grams graham cracker crumbs
02 - 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
03 - 50 grams granulated sugar

→ Filling

04 - 480 millilitres heavy cream
05 - 60 grams powdered sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 225 grams cream cheese, softened
08 - Gel food coloring, four pastel shades

# Instructions:

01 - Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
02 - Press the crumb mixture firmly into the base of a 23-centimetre springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
03 - Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a clean mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
04 - In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and soft.
05 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese until fully incorporated and smooth.
06 - Divide the mixture evenly among four bowls. Tint each portion with a different pastel gel food color, stirring gently to achieve a uniform hue.
07 - Spoon dollops of each colored mixture randomly onto the chilled crust. Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together to create a marbled effect, taking care not to overmix.
08 - Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least four hours, or until fully set. Once firm, carefully remove from the pan and transfer to a serving platter.
09 - Slice with a clean knife and serve chilled.

# Notes:

01 - Soften cream cheese to room temperature for best blending and a smooth texture.
