Strawberry Crunch Bars Recipe

Since Strawberries have been cheap I thought I would share this delicious Strawberry Crunch Bars recipe.  This dessert is perfect for a Spring or Summer day. It is “fancy” enough for the adults, but tasty enough for the kids. Overall, it is a family pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 15 oz Sugar Cookies
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 6 tbsp melted Butter
• 8 oz softened Cream Cheese
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 1 lb Strawberries

How to make Strawberry Crunch Bars:

1. Grease 9×13 baking dish. Preheat oven to 325.

2. Crush 10 oz of sugar cookies in food processor. Personally, I love this food processor (and it is on sale right now) Add 6 tablespoons of melted butter and pulse until blended.

3. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan.

4. Bake for 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.

5. Wash, hull and slice strawberries. I just love this Strawberry huller. It really speeds things up when hulling and slicing strawberries.

6. Whip heavy cream with sugar until peaks form. Add in softened cream cheese and mix until blended.

7. Fold in sliced strawberries. Spread mixture on top of cooled crust.

8. Crush remaining sugar cookies in blender and sprinkle over top of pan. Cover and place in freezer.
