• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions for Crust

1. Mix together crushed graham crackers and sugar. Add melted butter and press the crumbs into the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.

3. Remove the crust from the refrigerator. Add half of the cream cheese mixture on top of the strawberries.
4. Fold in ¼ cup of the strawberry jello mix to the remaining cream cheese mixture.
