Ingredients:
- 1 package (3 oz) Jell-O (choose your favorite flavor—strawberry, lime, orange, or any pastel color for Easter!)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional for garnish: whipped cream, colorful sprinkles, or Easter-themed decorations (like mini candy eggs)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Jell-O
In a medium bowl, dissolve the Jell-O in the boiling water. Stir well until fully dissolved. Add the cold water and mix. Set the bowl aside to cool slightly for 10-15 minutes, ensuring it’s not too hot when added to the cream cheese. - Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. - Add the Jell-O
Once the Jell-O has cooled slightly, slowly pour it into the cream cheese mixture. Beat the two together until well combined. - Fold in the Whipped Topping
Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, mixing until everything is smooth and fluffy. - Pour into the Crust
Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. - Chill the Pie
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing it to set fully. - Garnish and Serve
Before serving, top with whipped cream, colorful sprinkles, or Easter-themed decorations like mini candy eggs for a fun, festive touch.
Tips:
- You can make this pie with any flavor of Jell-O, but pastel colors like pink, yellow, or green work wonderfully for an Easter-themed pie.
- To make the crust from scratch, blend 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup melted butter. Press it into the pie dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, then cool before filling.
- For a more vibrant color, feel free to use two layers of different colored Jell-O for a fun, multi-colored effect!
