Fluffy Easter Dessert Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- Marshmallow candy (Easter-themed)
Instructions:
-
Begin by mixing together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
-
Gradually add the melted butter to the crumb mixture, stirring until all crumbs are evenly moistened.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Ensure the crust is evenly distributed and compacted.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
-
Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
For a festive touch, add a few drops of green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture and gently mix until the desired shade is achieved. This will give your dessert a lovely pastel hue reminiscent of springtime.
-
Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
-
In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with a few drops of green food coloring until the coconut is evenly tinted. Sprinkle the colored coconut over the top of the pie, creating a lush, grass-like appearance.
-
Arrange the marshmallow candy on top of the pie in a decorative pattern. You can use a variety of Easter-themed marshmallows, such as chicks, bunnies, or eggs, to add a playful touch to your dessert.
-
Once assembled, refrigerate the Fluffy Easter Dessert for at least 2 hours, or until set. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and ensures that the pie slices beautifully.
-
When ready to serve, slice the pie into generous portions and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy filling, crunchy crust, and sweet Easter treats.
