• ¾ oz Purple Jell-O (¼ pack)
• 8 oz whipped cream, divided
• 1½ cups boiling water
• ⅔ cup cold water, divided
• Yellow & pink food dye (optional, for enhanced pastel colors)

For the Crust:

• 1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tbsp butter (melted)

🥣 Step-By-Step Directions

Step 1: Make the Crust

1️⃣ In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. 2️⃣ Press the mixture firmly into a small springform pan, ensuring an even layer. 3️⃣ Freeze for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Jell-O Layers

1️⃣ In separate bowls, dissolve each Jell-O flavor in ⅜ cup boiling water and stir until fully dissolved. 2️⃣ Stir in ⅙ cup cold water into each bowl and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or until the Jell-O starts to thicken but is not fully set.

Step 3: Mix Jell-O with Whipped Cream

1️⃣ Once the Jell-O mixtures have slightly thickened, stir in 2 oz of whipped cream into each bowl until smooth and creamy. 2️⃣ If desired, add a drop or two of food coloring to enhance the pastel shades.

Step 4: Layer & Freeze

1️⃣ Pour the first Jell-O color onto the graham cracker crust and freeze for 5 minutes to set. 2️⃣ Repeat this process with each Jell-O color, freezing for 5 minutes between each layer to prevent colors from blending. 3️⃣ Once all layers are added, freeze the entire pie for 3-4 hours until completely firm.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

1️⃣ Remove from the freezer and let sit for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften before slicing. 2️⃣ Top with extra whipped cream for a fluffy finishing touch! 3️⃣ Slice and enjoy this vibrant, festive dessert!
