Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and with it, so is picnicking season! If you're looking for a tasty dessert to include in your weekend's festivities, look no further than our own Glenda's recipe for her BERRIED Treasure Dessert!
Crust:
- 1.5 cups graham crackers crumbs (1.5 sleeves of graham crackers crushed)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter - melted
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well.
- Press firmly in a 9x13 baking dish and bake for 8 minutes at 350.
- Cool (you can stick it in the fridge to speed up the process)
Filling:
- One 8 oz. cream cheese - softened
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 2 T plus 2.5 cups of cold milk
- 16 oz. cool whip - thawed
- 1 pint of strawberries – halved
- 1 pint blueberries (you can use any kind of berry you want)
- One 6 oz vanilla instant pudding (I used two packages of the 3.4 oz boxes)
Directions:
- Beat cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and 2 T of milk until smooth; fold in 1/2 of Cool Whip.
- Spread this over the already baked and cooled crust and arrange the strawberries (and other berries if you want) on top.
- Mix the pudding packages (6oz) and 2.5 cups of milk; beat 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the pudding mixture over the strawberries/berries and chill for several hours or overnight.
- Spread with remaining Cool Whip before serving.
