Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well-mixed and moist.
- Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a firm crust.

3. Prepare the Cream Filling:
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated.

4. Combine Ingredients:
- Slowly add the cooled Jell-O mixture to the cream cheese and pudding blend, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

5. Assemble the Dessert:
- Remove the graham cracker crust from the refrigerator. Pour the cream filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set.

6. Serve:
