Note 1: I like to use Recipe #272116, any other short bread or nut crust will do; avoid graham cracker crust as it won't compliment the flavors as well or be as sturdy as you want it to be.

Note 2: Use the small box for an 8 or 9-inch crust and the big one for a 10-12-inch crust, you might have some left over.

Note 4- If your crust cracks you can melt down some semi-sweet or dark chocolate with a little shortening or butter and spread a thin layer on the bottom of the crust to prevent cream leaks, this is good even when it doesn't crack, especially with bananas strawberrie and raspberries.
