Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until fully combined, resembling wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into a 9 or 10-inch pie plate, ensuring a compact base that holds together. Once finished, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Gradually pour in sweetened condensed milk, mixing until smooth, which should take around 1-2 minutes. Slowly add in lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
- Divide the cheesecake filling into four bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl and mix gently until desired pastel shades are achieved. Be careful not to overmix.
- Dollop the colored cheesecake fillings into the chilled crust, alternately layering them to create a visually pleasing pattern. Use a skewer to gently swirl the colors together.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to let it set. Before serving, top with Cool Whip and colorful sprinkles.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Allowing the pie to chill for at least 8 hours is crucial for the perfect texture.
