Scrumptious Strawberry Layer Dessert Recipes

Steps:

• Mix wafer crumbs, sugar and butter; press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Beat cream cheese and 2 Tbsp. milk in large bowl with whisk until blended. Stir in half the COOL WHIP; spread over crust. Top with berries. Beat pudding mixes and 3-1/2 cups milk with whisk 2 min.; pour over berries.
• Refrigerate 4 hours. Spread with remaining COOL WHIP just before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Make your filling first, as it takes awhile to cool. In a saucepan, add sugar, water, salt, corn starch, 7 - up, cook until thickened.
• 2. Add strawberry gelatin, stir well making sure it's thoroughly combined. Set aside to cool.
• 3. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Make your crust: I do this in my food processor...Add 2 cups of flour and the 3/4 cup of softened butter...pulse 4 or 5 times until pebble - size crumbs form. Add the pecans and pulse just enough to blend evenly.
• 4. Press this into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
• 5. Set aside to cool.
• 6. Now, make your cream cheese layer. In a medium sized bowl, mix the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of cool whip, until smooth.
• 7. As soon as crust is cool, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
• 8. When filling mixture is cool, fold in fresh strawberries. Spread this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
• 9. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until set. Before serving, top with remaining whipped cream and more chopped pecans, if preferred.
• 10. I usually just add the additional cool whip as I serve it... Enjoy! It's delicious!!
