Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your pie dish.
- Place the pie crust in the dish if using store-bought, or roll out homemade dough.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually mix in heavy cream until fully incorporated.
- Divide the filling into two bowls; mix one with strawberry puree and the other with blueberry puree.
- Pour alternating spoonfuls of both fillings into the crust and swirl gently using a knife or skewer.
