  • 2 packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
  • Divide the filling into three equal portions. Tint one portion red with food coloring, another blue, and leave the third one white.
  • Spoon alternating dollops of the red, white, and blue filling into the cooled pie crust. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  • Dollop spoonfuls of strawberry jam and blueberry jam over the filling. Swirl again to create a patriotic pattern.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  • Serve chilled.

Notes

For a cleaner swirl, chill the jams slightly before dolloping. You can also use different flavor combinations for the jams.
