1 cup sugar
9 oz carton Cool Whip

Jell-O layer ingredients:
6 oz pkg strawberry Jell-O*
2 cups water/pineapple juice mix
10 oz pkg frozen strawberries**
1 sm can crushed pineapple, drained

Mix graham crackers, melted margarine and sugar. Spread in 9x13" pan. Cool in fridge.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and Cool Whip until smooth. Pour over crust and spread. Place back in fridge.

Bring water to a boil. Dissolve Jell-O. Add frozen fruit. Stir until thawed. Add crushed pineapple. Mix well. Pour over cream cheese mixture. Refridgerate 4 hours or until firm.

*Can also use raspberry Jell-O.

**Can also use raspberries. I've also tried this recipe with a package of frozen mixed berries and it was really good.
