Instructions
1. Mix together graham cracker crumbs and ⅓ cup sugar. Add melted butter and stir until evenly combined. Pour into a 10-inch springform pan and press firmly to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

3. Divide the mixture into three bowls. Tint each with pink, yellow, or green food coloring.
4. Layer the colored cheesecake mixtures one at a time over the prepared crust, smoothing each layer with a spatula.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours, or overnight, until set.

7. Decorate with sprinkles and M&M egg candies. Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
For clean slices, chill overnight and use a hot, dry knife. Wait to add whipped topping and decorations until just before serving for the freshest look. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. For a twist, try lemon zest in the filling, jam swirls, or chocolate cookies for the crust.
