- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a half sheet cake pan (13″x18″x1″) with non-stick spray.

- Pour the filling over the baked crust and spread it out evenly.
- Bake about 25 minutes or until filling is set. Allow it to cool for at least 1 hour (the filling will be set).
- Cut into squares and serve!
