Ingredients

FILLING

  • 4 cups strawberries
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • Danish Dessert by Junket raspberry preferred or strawberry
  • pie crust
  • whipped topping

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

  • 1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs (24 squares)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter melted

Instructions

  • mix Danish dessert with cold water in medium saucepan, bring to boil for 1 minute while stirring continuously, remove from heat, fold in berries, and pour into pie crust...voila!
  • Refrigerated it for 4 hours then finished it off with some whipped topping.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

  • If you're starting out with full-sheet graham crackers, you can use a food processor or blender to grind them up. Or crush them in a zipped top bag with a rolling pin.
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar together with a rubber spatula in a medium bowl until combined. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy. Press the mixture into the bottom of the dish or pan and slightly up the sides. This crust will fit into a 9 - 10 inch pan. Make sure it is tight and compact. Use the bottom of a flat measuring cup like I do in these photos. It helps! The crust will be thick.
  • For a baked dessert, pre-bake this crust per your recipe's directions. I usually pre-bake for 10 minutes at 300°F (149°C) or 7-8 minutes at 350°F (177°C). For a no-bake dessert, chill the crust for 2 hours before using in your recipe.
  • Make ahead tip: It's freezer friendly! Freeze the prepared crust in your pan for up to 3 months. Thaw before using in your recipe. For shorter storage, keep the prepared crust in the refrigerator for a few days before using in your recipe.

Notes

Variations: use cinnamon, honey, or chocolate flavor graham crackers depending on your dessert recipe. I usually use honey flavor because it is the most mild. If I'm baking a chocolate treat, I like to switch things up and use the chocolate graham crackers. Try using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a hint of molasses flavor.
