Tips:
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the kiwis with a fork or potato masher.
- Be sure to use ripe kiwis, as they will be sweeter and have a more intense flavor.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a smaller dish and simply cut the bars into smaller pieces.
- These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Kiwi dessert squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up ripe kiwis, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
