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

¼ cup white sugar

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries: This will give your squares the best flavor. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen ones, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the squares until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Strawberry dream squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple shortbread crust, a creamy strawberry filling, and a sweet strawberry glaze. These squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
