Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until well combined. Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until the mixture is creamy.
Add Color: Divide a small portion of the filling into a separate bowl and add green food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
Assemble the Pie: Pour the uncolored filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the green-colored filling onto the top of the pie.
Create the Swirl: Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the green filling into the white filling to create a marbled effect.
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Notes

For a more intense mint flavor, adjust the amount of peppermint extract to taste.
Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an extra touch.
