Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
Cream Cheese Mixture:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Gelatin Layers:
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin
- 1 package (3 oz) lemon gelatin
- 1 package (3 oz) berry blue gelatin
- 3/4 cup boiling water (divided)
- food coloring (optional, to enhance pastel colors)
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: In three separate bowls, dissolve each gelatin flavor in 1/4 cup of boiling water. Let them cool to room temperature.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the three bowls with gelatin and stir gently to combine, creating three pastel-colored mixtures. Add food coloring if desired.
- Assemble Pie: Spoon dollops of each mixture randomly into the graham cracker crust, alternating colors. Swirl the colors together with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- You can use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping for a more natural version.
- This pie is a fun and colorful addition to spring and Easter celebrations and can be made a day in advance.
