What you’ll need:

• Ingredients for Fresh Berry Slab Pie
• 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan
• Cooling rack
• Electric mixer
• 1 Medium bowl

How to:

1.  Heat oven to 450°F. Unroll pie crusts and stack one on top of the other on a lightly floured surface. Roll to 17 x 12-inch rectangle. Fit the crust into 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan, pressing into corners. Fold the extra crust under, even with edges of pan. Crimp the edges and then prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork.

2.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack.

3.  In a medium bowl, beat yogurt and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spoon into cooled baked crust. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until set.
