Banana & Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie




 

(1) Graham cracker crust  (use pre-made or make your own)
(1) 8 oz. cream cheese
(2) table spoons of Lemon juice
(3) packets of Stevia (or sweetener of your choice)
(3 oz.) pkg. Sugar free Lemon Jello 
(1) cup of boiling water
(1 1/2) cup of sliced banana's 
(2/5) cup of milnot / evaporated milk
(1) cup strawberries

Dissolve jello in boiling water, stir until completely dissolved.  Gradually add to softened cream cheese
Blend until smooth.  Add milk, sugar, Lemon juice, chill in refrigerator until thickened.  Add banana's & strawberries pour into crust & chill at least an hour before serving.
Note: Squeeze a little lemon juice over banana's to keep them from turning brown.

Graham cracker crust:

Ingredients:
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or 10 to 12 whole graham crackers crushed.
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in microwave
In a medium-sized bowl combine graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter; blend until the texture of coarse meal.
Press into a 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Try to press the crust evenly, about 1/8 inch, thick all around. If the crumb mixture won't stick where you press them, just add another tablespoon of water to the mix.  Make sure there are no gaps or holes.

NOTE: If you chill the crust for an hour before you bake it, this will help prevent crumbling when you want to serve it.
Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes. The edges may be just slightly browned, but you do not want the edges or crust to over-brown.
Remove from oven and let crust cool, on a wire rack, before filling.
