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

Steps:
- In large bowl dissolve jello in boiling water.
- Add frozen berries and stir until thawed.
- Stir in remaining fruit.
- Pour 1/2 of the mixture in 9x13 pan and chill.
- When firm, spread sour cream on first layer and then pour remaining jello-fruit mix on top and chill until firm.
- Note: To save time you could just put the sour cream on top.
Tips:
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the crust. Just be sure to blend until the mixture is very fine.
- To make the crust easier to press into the pan, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner cut off to pipe the filling onto the crust.
- Be sure to chill the squares for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
These diabetic-friendly strawberry cream squares are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people with and without diabetes. The crust is made with a combination of almond flour and oats, which makes it low in carbs and high in fiber. The filling is made with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and strawberries, which makes it creamy, tangy, and sweet. These squares are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your health.
