Ingredients
For the crust:
12 whole graham crackers
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) butter
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
For the pudding:
2 (3.4-ounce) packages "cook and serve" vanilla pudding
Milk (according to pudding package instructions)
For the topping:
1 pint fresh strawberries

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the crust: crumble the graham crackers by hand or with a potato masher to get fine crumbs. Heat the butter

in a saucepan or microwave until half-melted. Work the butter into the crumbs with your fingertips until the
crumbs look like wet sand. Using your fingertips, press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate or disposable
aluminum pie pan to make an even layer over the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake until the crust is a shade
darker, about 12 minutes, and let cool completely.
Make the pudding according to the package directions. Let stand about 5 to 10 minutes stirring occasionally to
keep a skin from forming on the top of the pudding.
Use a spoon or rubber spatula to scrape the pudding into the graham cracker shell and smooth it into an even
layer. Put the tart in the refrigerator until the pudding is chilled and set, at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, cut the stems off the strawberries and wash with the other berries in a colander under cold water.
Drain then spread out on paper towel to dry. You can either arrange the berries nicely over the pudding or
just sort of gently tumble them onto it. Cover the tart lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. You can
make the tart up to 4 hours in advance. Serve cold.
