While the third layer is chilling, place the cream cheese in a large bowl and whisk until it is light and fluffy, ensure no lumps remain.
Check and Pour Third Layer: Once the grape Jell-O layer is set but still slightly soft to the touch, gently pour the berry blue Jell-O mixture over it. Be careful not to disturb the previous layer. Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the pie is completely set.
Serve: Once the pie is fully set, it’s ready to serve! You can cut it into slices and enjoy.
Tips and Variations:
Layering: Make sure each layer is set but still slightly soft before adding the next. This will help the layers adhere to each other.
Fruit: You can add fresh or canned fruit to any of the Jell-O layers. Diced strawberries, blueberries, or mandarin oranges would be great additions.
Whipped Cream: Top the finished pie with whipped cream or whipped topping for an extra touch of sweetness.
Clear Jell-O Layer: For a more visually appealing pie, you can add a layer of clear Jell-O (unflavored gelatin) between the colored layers. This will create a nice contrast.
Jell-O Alternatives: Consider using sugar-free Jell-O as a healthy alternative.
Crust Variations: Use chocolate or gluten free crusts to add different flavors.
Enjoy your colorful and delicious Easter Jell-O Pie!
