Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

For the crust:
1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
¼ cup Sugar white
⅓ cup Butter melted
For the filling:
8 oz Cream cheese softened
½ cup Sugar
½ tsp Vanilla extract pure
1 cup Whipped topping like Cool Whip thawed
3 drops Food coloring pink yellow, blue

Equipment

1 Mixing bowl Large
1 Electric mixer Hand or stand mixer
1 Pie pan 9-inch round
1 Rubber spatula For swirling
1 Food coloring Pastel gel or liquid
1 Measuring cups For ingredients
1 Oven Preheated to 325°F (163°C)
1 Fridge For chilling the pie

Method

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Make the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool.
Prepare the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Fold in whipped topping until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into three bowls. Tint each bowl with a different pastel food coloring.
Spoon dollops of each color randomly into the crust. Gently swirl using a spatula or knife to create a marbled effect.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve cold, topped with sprinkles, extra whipped cream, or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for bolder pastel colors with less liquid.
For a gluten-free crust, use gluten-free graham crackers.
You can prepare this a day ahead and chill overnight for best texture.
