Method

Preparation

Prepare three bowls and pour one 3 oz box of Jell-O powder into each bowl.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water into each bowl and stir until dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to each bowl and stir to combine, allowing to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese until light and evenly combined.
Divide the cream cheese mixture into three portions, stirring one into each Jell-O bowl.

Layering

Pour the lemon Jell-O and cream cheese mixture into the graham cracker crust and refrigerate until slightly set, about 30 minutes.
Once the lemon layer is slightly set, pour the grape Jell-O and cream cheese mixture over it and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
After the grape layer is slightly set, pour the berry blue Jell-O and cream cheese mixture on top and refrigerate again for 30 minutes.
Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set completely before serving.

Serving

Before serving, top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and candy eggs.

Notes

Make sure the Jell-O mixtures are only slightly warm before adding cream cheese. Chill each layer to prevent colors from bleeding. Ideal for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Not suitable for freezing.
