Ingredients

  • ½ package purple, yellow, blue, and red gelatin
  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 1 1/3 cups cold water
  • 4 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed, plus more for decorating
  • 12 mini graham cracker pie crusts

Instructions

  • Add ½ package of each gelatin flavor into separate mixing bowls. Pour ⅔ cup boiling water over each and whisk thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved and no granules remain. Add ⅓ cup cold water and mix well.
  • Transfer the bowls to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until the gelatin has thickened slightly and is just beginning to set but is not firm.
  • Gently fold 1 cup of whipped topping into each bowl until fully incorporated and smooth. Avoid overmixing so the texture stays light and creamy.
  • Return the bowls to the refrigerator and chill for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the mixture thickens to a soft, spoonable consistency that is still easy to swirl.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of each color into each mini pie crust. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
  • Refrigerate the pies for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped topping and sprinkles if desired.
