Ingredients

Bar

Topping

  • 3 cups coarsely chopped strawberries (about 1 lb)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In large bowl, stir cookie mix and 1/2 cup softened butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Spread mixture evenly in pan; press lightly.
  • 3
    In large bowl, beat cream cheese, 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, eggs and vanilla with electric mixer on low speed until blended; scrape bottom and side of bowl. Beat on high speed until smooth. Beat in 1/3 cup melted butter until blended. Pour over cookie mixture; spread evenly.

    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • 5
    Just before serving, in medium bowl, mix strawberries, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and the lemon juice. Let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. To serve, cut bars into 5 rows by 3 rows. Top each with strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate any remaining bars.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If a make-ahead dessert is what you need, make this recipe the day before serving. After cooling, tightly cover with foil, and store in refrigerator until serving.
  • tip 2
    Need whipped cream but short on time? Purchase whipped cream topping in an aerosol can to have on hand to make serving this dessert extra easy.
