• ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp sugar

For the Swirled Filling:

• 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup lemon-lime flavored yogurt (or lemon curd for a tangier flavor)
• 1 cup strawberry-flavored yogurt (or fresh strawberry puree)

Optional Toppings:

• Whipped cream
• Fresh strawberries or blueberries
• Lemon zest

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs , melted butter , and sugar . Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside while you prepare the filling.

Pro Tip: Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm it up before adding the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract , and continue beating until stiff peaks form. This will serve as the base for your swirled filling.

Step 3: Divide the Filling
