Strawberry Dessert

Submitted by Barb P.

1 c. crushed graham crackers
¼ c. sugar (opt.)
¼ c. softened butter

Mix together and press into bottom of 9 X 13 pan. Bake at 400 degrees about 5 min. Cool.

Topping:
1 1/3 c. sugar
2 c. mashed strawberries
1 c. water
6 T. cornstarch

I mix these together in a microwave safe bowl and cook on high until thickened, stirring every couple minutes. I also often use frozen berries in the winter and they thaw as they cook. Remove and allow to cool to room temp.

Mix together 2 c. of whipped topping and 8 oz. of softened cream cheese. Spread over cooled graham cracker crust. Spread cooled strawberry topping over the top. Chill.
