Instructions

Begin by softening the cream cheese. Leave it out for about 30 minutes before using, or microwave it in 10-second intervals if you’re in a hurry.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, stirring carefully until everything is evenly mixed.
Pour the mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set properly before serving.
Garnish with any additional toppings if desired, such as colorful sprinkles or fresh fruit for a festive touch.

Notes

This pie is perfect for making ahead. It benefits from chilling for at least 2 hours, but can be prepared a day before serving.
Feel free to use a homemade graham cracker crust or experiment with other crusts, such as a chocolate cookie or shortbread crust.
For added flavor, consider adding lemon zest or almond extract to the filling.
This pie can be made gluten-free if you use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
If you prefer a more homemade touch, you can substitute the whipped topping with whipped heavy cream or Greek yogurt.
To make it more festive for Easter, decorate the top with candy eggs, colorful sprinkles, or pastel-colored food dye.
