Graham Cracker Crust Recipes

Hi! This is for LeeAnn, who has a wayward graham cracker crust and needs to fill it!

First, the easy, fast one....

Turtle Pie
1 graham cracker crust
3 T. butter
3 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 c. chocolate chips (recipe calls for milk, but I use semi-sweet)
3/4 c. pecans

Mix butter and eggs well. Stir in the remainder and pour into prepared graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 for 30-35 mins. When serving, drizzle with carmel and chocolate sauce.




Second, the not so quick one...but VERY worth it!

Fresh Strawberry Pie
1 graham cracker crust
1-1 1/2 qts. of strawberries (I usually use about a lb.), hulled and sliced

Filling:
1 pkg. cream cheese (light is great!)
1 T. milk
2 T. sugar

Glaze:
1/2 c. sugar
1 T. cornstarch
dash of salt
1 3/4 c. water
1 pkg. strawberry jell-o (I've used SF without a problem)

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, milk, and sugar-mix until smooth. Spread over the bottom of the crust; arrange strawberries on top.
In a saucepan, combine 1st 4 glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook/stir for about 2 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in jell-o until dissolved. Chill. Pour over berries. Refrigerate. Best served the day of or next day.
