Ingredients

1 individual package chocolate graham crackers, crushed
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups huckleberries
¼ cup apple juice
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

Mix graham crackers and butter together in a bowl and pat crust into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Mix cream cheese, whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer. Spread filling over the crust.
Crush 1 cup huckleberries in a bowl with a potato masher. Add apple juice and cook in a saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes.
