Scrumptious Strawberry Layer Dessert Recipes

STRAWBERRY DELIGHT NO BAKE DESSERT

Steps:

• Have the pecan crust baked, cooled, and ready to go.
• Whisk the corn starch and water together in a small glass measuring cup.
• Add the corn starch mixture together with the sugar in a medium to large saucepan.
• Mix in the strawberry purée.
• Bring the mixture to a boil on low to medium heat, constantly stirring with a spatula to avoid scorching.
• Once the mixture boils, cook it for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until it thickens and turns a deep red.
• Remove the strawberry sauce from the heat, and allow it to cool.*
• Meanwhile, using a mixer, beat the cream cheese well.
• In a separate mixer bowl, whisk together the Dream Whip with the milk and vanilla, according to package directions. Whisk it until it begins to form soft peaks, about 4 minutes.
• Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to the Dream Whip mixture, and whisk for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it's smooth and creamy.
• Spread the Dream Whip cream cheese filling onto the prepared pie crust.**
• Once the strawberry sauce has cooled enough, mix the sliced strawberries into the sauce.
• Spread the strawberries and sauce mixture over the Dream Whip filling.
• Cover your no bake strawberry dessert and allow it to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
• When it's ready to serve, you can top it off with a dollop of whipped cream or serve it as is. It's so delicious!

SCRUMPTIOUS STRAWBERRY LAYER DESSERT

Steps:

• 1. Make your filling first, as it takes awhile to cool. In a saucepan, add sugar, water, salt, corn starch, 7 - up, cook until thickened.
• 2. Add strawberry gelatin, stir well making sure it's thoroughly combined. Set aside to cool.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Make your crust: I do this in my food processor...Add 2 cups of flour and the 3/4 cup of softened butter...pulse 4 or 5 times until pebble - size crumbs form. Add the pecans and pulse just enough to blend evenly.
• 4. Press this into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
• 5. Set aside to cool.
• 6. Now, make your cream cheese layer. In a medium sized bowl, mix the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of cool whip, until smooth.
• 7. As soon as crust is cool, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
• 8. When filling mixture is cool, fold in fresh strawberries. Spread this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
• 9. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until set. Before serving, top with remaining whipped cream and more chopped pecans, if preferred.
• 10. I usually just add the additional cool whip as I serve it... Enjoy! It's delicious!!
