Instructions

- Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until fully combined.
- Create the Swirl:
- Divide the filling into two bowls. Leave one bowl white, and add green food coloring to the other bowl. Stir until the desired shade is reached.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Alternate spoonfuls of green and white filling into the prepared crust.
- Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
- Chill and Garnish:
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, top with the remaining whipped topping and garnish with mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, or sprinkles, if desired.
