FAQS:

Can I make this with any other type of fruit?
You can change out the fruit to your taste. I recommend sticking with a softer fruit. Some other great options are peaches, bananas, any mixture of berries, or even mango.

Can this be made with frozen fruit?
Whenever you thaw frozen fruit, they leak off many of its juices, leaving you with very mushy fruit. I highly recommend using fresh fruit, but if you need to, you can use frozen fruit. You must ensure the fruit is thawed completely and drain off as much liquid as possible before adding your frozen fruit to the cake. Now decorating the top of the cake, I still recommend you use fresh fruit so you don’t just get puddles of liquid on the top, which will not look pretty.

Can this cake be made up in advance?
Yes, I like to make it the night before because the Cool Whip and fruit juices will help soften the graham cracker layers to give you the perfect cake texture.

How do I store this, and how long will it be good?
You want to cover your cake and store it in the refrigerator for up to four days. The longer it sits, the softer the graham crackers get, so I recommend eating it within the first 24 hours.

Any way to add some extra flavor to it, so it doesn’t just have the Cool Whip flavor?
If you want to spice up this cake and add extra flavor, you can stir in half a package of instant pudding mix. If you want that cheesecake flavor, you can whip up 8 ounces of cream cheese in your mixer and then fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese.

How do I get the graham crackers in an even layer?
The graham crackers will not fit perfectly depending on the shape of your pan. Luckily they come with a break line on them, so you can break the graham crackers apart to fit the pan.
