Glazed Strawberry Squares

Oh how I love this desert! I received this recipe from a friend a few years ago and my family loves it. My husband does not care for strawberries but he will devour this one easily. It's very light and not too sweet or rich at all, so you don't feel bad after you eat it. I think it is the perfect desert to take to a party or shower because it feeds a lot! It's super easy to make and so pretty to look at - and of course it tastes like heaven!













Glazed Strawberry Squares

• 1 white cake mix
• 12 oz cool whip
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 8 oz cream cheese ( I use fat free or Nuefchatel cheese)
• 4 cups sliced strawberries
• Strawberry Junket Danish Desert (in the jell-o section at Walmart or Smiths)

Mix white cake mix according to directions. Grease the bottom of a cookie sheet and pour cake mix into pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool. In a bowl mix cream cheese and powdered sugar with electric mixer. Add vanilla and mix. Then fold in cool whip gently with a spoon. Set aside in fridge. Make Danish Desert mix according to directions on box. It will have you add the strawberries. After cake is cool, spread the cream mixture over the top. Then spread the Danish desert glaze over the top. You can serve right away but if you allow to cool in the fridge for an hour before serving then the strawberry glaze will solidify into a pretty gelatin glaze that won't stick to tin foil or plastic. Cut into squares.
