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:

1. 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.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
   In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. 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.
4. Fold in the Whipped Topping
   Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, mixing until everything is smooth and fluffy.
5. Pour into the Crust
   Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6. Chill the Pie
   Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing it to set fully.
7. 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!
