Method
 

Prepare the Marshmallow Filling
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the marshmallows and milk. Stir gently until melted and creamy, about 8-9 minutes.
  2. Once melted, cover and cool in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Whip Cream
  1. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
  2. Gently fold in the cooled marshmallow mixture and color with purple and blue if desired.
Assemble the Pie
  1. Pour half of the white filling into the graham cracker crust.
  2. Scoop in pops of purple and blue, then top with the remaining white filling and create a swirl with a knife.
  3. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Make the Moondust Crumbles
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine gelatin flavors with flour and melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 7-8 minutes and let cool before crumbling.
Make the Graham Cracker Crust
  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter, and fold in rainbow sprinkles.
  2. Press the mixture into a pie plate and bake for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Serve
  1. Once chilled, garnish the pie with moondust crumbles and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or extra sprinkles.

Notes

Make the marshmallow filling ahead of time for a creamier pie. Experiment with gelatin flavors for colorful adaptations. For added crunch, consider folding in nuts or using different sprinkles.
