Easter Jell-O Pie

A festive dessert layered with creamy pastel Jell-O flavors in a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for spring gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
  • 1 (3 oz) box lemon Jell-O
  • 1 (3 oz) box grape Jell-O
  • 1 (3 oz) box berry blue Jell-O
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping
  • Whipped cream (for decoration)
  • Pastel sprinkles (for garnish)
  • Candy eggs (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jell-O layers by pouring 1 cup of boiling water over each box of Jell-O in separate bowls. Stir each until fully dissolved.
  2. Add 1 cup of cold water to each bowl and stir to combine. Let each mixture cool for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Make the creamy filling by beating the softened cream cheese until completely smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.
  4. Divide the cream cheese mixture into three equal portions. Mix each portion into the corresponding cooled Jell-O mixture until smooth.
  5. Pour the lemon Jell-O and cream cheese mixture into the crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Carefully pour the grape Jell-O and cream cheese mixture over the first layer. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
  7. Pour the berry blue Jell-O and cream cheese mixture over the second layer. Refrigerate until fully set, about 4 hours.
  8. Before serving, decorate the pie with whipped cream, pastel sprinkles, and candy eggs. Slice using a knife dipped in hot water.

Notes

Chill each Jell-O mix until just warm to prevent separation. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days; add decorations just before serving.
