# Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
02 -
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
03 -
Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Warm the raspberry and blueberry jams slightly to loosen (about 10 seconds in the microwave). Drop small spoonfuls of each jam over the surface of the pie. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the jams into the filling, creating a red, white, and blue marbled effect. Add food coloring to the jams if a more vibrant color is desired.
