Ingredients
For the Pie:
- Pre-made graham cracker crust – A crisp and buttery base.

3️⃣ Fill the Crust:
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the graham cracker crust and smooth it with a spatula.
4️⃣ Create the Swirl Effect:

Notes
- Use Gel Food Coloring – It creates vibrant swirls without thinning out the filling.
- Let the Cream Cheese Soften – This ensures a smooth, lump-free filling.
