I found this recipe to be a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure why, but my dessert squares didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together properly.

I'm not a big fan of strawberries, but I really enjoyed these dessert squares. The cream cheese and whipped cream balance out the tartness of the strawberries.
