Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs A sweet, crunchy base for the pie.
  • 6 tablespoons Butter Melted; can substitute with coconut oil.
Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Can substitute with mascarpone.
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream Can substitute with non-dairy whipped topping.
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Reduce for less sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Can substitute with lime juice.
  • 5 drops Gel Food Coloring (various pastel colors) Avoid liquid food coloring.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Butter knife or skewer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden, then cool and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and lemon juice. Fold in whipped cream until fluffy.
  3. Divide filling into three bowls, add gel food coloring to each, mixing until desired pastel shades are achieved.
  4. Spoon dollops of each colored filling into crust. Use a knife to swirl the colors together.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Ensure the crust is well-pressed to prevent crumbling when slicing. Stick to gel food coloring for best results and avoid overmixing whipped cream to maintain the light texture.
