Instructions

Make the Graham Cracker Crust Crumble:

Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Spray a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs (2 1/2 cups), melted butter (3/4 cup), and sugar (1/4 cup) and mix until combined. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish. Using a long knife, score the crumb mixture into a 1-inch grid pattern, pressing the knife almost to the bottom of the crumbs to the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely. Refrigerate until chilled completely and the mixture is firm, preferably overnight.

Make the Cheesecake mixture:

In a large mixing bowl, add Cool Whip (12 ounces), pudding mix (1 box), strawberry yogurt (3 containers), and vanilla (1 teaspoon), and mix until evenly combined. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
When ready to serve, slice strawberries (8 cups) and bananas (3). Add the fruit and marshmallows (2 cups) to the cheesecake mixture and gently fold the ingredients until combined.
Sprinkle with graham cracker crust crumble and serve immediately. If there's any extra crumble pass it in a separate bowl and let everyone add extra as desired.

Notes

Don’t forget to dock the crust before it goes into the oven. It helps ensure even cooking. For ultimate results, let your crust sit in the fridge overnight before the serving day.
