Strawberry Delight

This recipe is from my future sister-in-law, Brittany. She makes it for the holidays, and recently made a special batch just for us when she came down for a visit. It's sooo good! :) This recipe is for a small batch, but it can easily be doubled or tripled for larger crowds.

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (If you don't have crumbs, just stick whole grahams into a food processor or blender!)
1/2 cup butter
3 tbsp sugar
1 large bag frozen sliced strawberries OR 3 cans strawberry pie filling OR 1 carton fresh strawberries, sliced
1 12 oz tub Cool Whip
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 tbsp milk
2 containers strawberry glaze (If using the pie filling, you won't need these)

Melt butter and mix with sugar. (The granulated. The powdered is for later!) Add this to the graham cracker crumbs and press into a deep, square dish (I think she used an 8x8) to make the crust.
Combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Beat together and then add Cool Whip. Beat until smooth, then spread over top the crust.
Mix the strawberries and strawberry glaze and spread over the cream cheese mixture.
Chill until ready to serve. It's best if you let it chill for an hour or two before serving, so it sets.
