Time 3h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup salted butter, at room temperature
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
½ cup water
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ (3 ounce) package strawberry-flavored gelatin (such as Jell-O®)
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until well combined. Add flour and continue to beat until dough comes together and is no longer dry.
  • Press the dough into an 8x8-inch pan, smoothing the surface evenly with your fingers. Prick the dough all over with a fork to allow any steam to escape.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until combined. Refrigerate while the shortbread cools and you prepare the strawberry topping.
  • Whisk water, sugar, and cornstarch together in a small pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Add gelatin and whisk until incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside to cool, whisking occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled shortbread. Top evenly with sliced strawberries then pour gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries. Refrigerate until set. Cut into squares

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pkg (16.5 oz.) 'pillsbury' refrigerated sugar cookies
2 pkg (8 oz.) whipped cream cheese, softened
1/4 c sugar
1 c strawberry topping from 11.75 oz. jar
2 large eggs

Tips:

  • Use fresh strawberries: Fresh strawberries have the best flavor and texture, and they'll make your squares taste amazing. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using them.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the squares until they're just set: The squares should be firm to the touch, but they shouldn't be dry. Insert a toothpick into the center of the squares; if it comes out clean, they're done.
  • Let the squares cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Use a creamy frosting: A creamy frosting will complement the sweet and tart strawberries perfectly. You can use a simple whipped cream frosting, a cream cheese frosting, or a sour cream frosting.

Conclusion:

Strawberry cream squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tart strawberries, creamy frosting, and flaky crust, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give strawberry cream squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
