Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hrs before using. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9-by 9-inch cake pan with butter-flavored cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, coconut extract, and refrigerated milk mixture. Gently stir in graham cracker crumbs and cranberries. Spread batter evenly into prepared cake pan.
