#62: Strawberry Cream Dessert

We are going to the in-laws house tomorrow and I was looking for a jello-ish recipe to bring with.  I have had this recipe bookmarked for a while, so I figured it would be a perfect time to try it out. 


6 tablespoons sugar
10 tablespoons butter, melted
2-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 36 squares)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cartons (one 16 ounces, one 8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup (8 ounces) strawberry yogurt

TOPPING:
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted


Directions
In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread over the prepared crust.

In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in yogurt and 6 cups of whipped topping until blended. Pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Spread remaining whipped topping over strawberry layer. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over whipped topping. Yield: 12-15 servings.
