Ingredients

Crust

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2/3 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 quarts strawberries

Glaze

  • 1/2 c. water
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 3/4 c. sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, combine the crust ingredients until it is a fine moist crumb consistency. Press the mixture into a sprayed 9x13 pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, clean and quarter all of the strawberries. Add 1 cup of strawberries to a medium saucepan along with the sugar. Using a potato masher, mash the strawberries until there are no large chunks left.
  • Add the cornstarch, flour and water to the mashed strawberries and whisk over high heat until it comes to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes at a boil and remove from the heat to cool. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until it is smooth. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled sugar cookie layer. Pat the remaining strawberries dry with a paper towel and arrange them on top of the cream cheese.
  • Top the strawberries with the cooled strawberry glaze. Serve or refrigerate up to 3 days.
