  • Total Time: 4 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2½ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 12 tbsp Butter (1½ sticks), melted

Jell-O Layers

  • ½ package Pink Starburst Jell-O (about 2 ounces)
  • 1½ ounces Blue Jell-O (½ package)
  • 1½ ounces Yellow Jell-O (½ package)
  • 1½ ounces Purple Jell-O (½ package)
  • 3 cups Boiling Water (divided: ¾ cup per Jell-O bowl)
  • 1⅓ cup Cold Water (divided: ⅓ cup per Jell-O bowl)
  • 16 ounces Whipped Cream (divided: 4 ounces per Jell-O bowl, plus extra for topping)
  • Yellow Food Dye (optional)
  • Pink Food Dye (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Melt your butter in the microwave until it’s fully liquified.
  2. Mix Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl and mix until a thick, sand-like texture forms.
  3. Form Crust: Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of your springform pan, packing it in firmly.
  4. Chill Crust: Place the crust in the freezer to set while you prepare the Jell-O layers.
  5. Prepare Jell-O Mixtures: Place each Jell-O powder in its own small bowl. Add ¾ cup boiling water to each and stir until completely dissolved with no graininess remaining.
  6. Add Cold Water: Stir ⅓ cup cold water into each Jell-O mixture.
  7. Thicken Jell-O: Refrigerate the bowls for 20-30 minutes until thickened but not solid.
  8. Combine with Whipped Cream: Add 4 ounces of whipped cream to each bowl and vigorously mix until fully combined, which may take a couple of minutes per bowl.
  9. Optional Coloring: Add yellow or pink food dye to the corresponding Jell-O mixtures if desired, stirring until the color is uniform and no streaks remain.
  10. Layer Jell-O: Pour the first Jell-O color evenly over the crust and freeze for 5 minutes. Repeat layering with each subsequent color, freezing 5 minutes between each.
  11. Set Pie: Once all four layers are added, freeze the pie for 3-4 hours until completely solidified.
  12. Serve: Top with additional whipped cream if desired before serving and enjoy your festive Easter Jello-O Pie!

Notes

  • Ensure the Jell-O is thickened but not fully set before mixing in whipped cream to create a fluffy texture.
  • Use a springform pan for easier removal of the pie after freezing.
  • Customize the color layering order to your preference for a personalized look.
  • Allow pie to fully freeze for best slicing results.
  • Keep pie refrigerated or frozen until ready to serve to maintain its shape.
