How to Make Creamy Strawberry Lemon Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. Let the crust cool completely.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup milk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 2-3 ¾ cups milk (adjust for desired consistency) with 2 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant strawberry-lemon pudding mix until smooth and well combined.
  8. Pour the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  9. Let stand for at least 15 minutes to set.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to fully chill and set.
  11. Top with 1 cup of whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade) before serving.
  12. Cut into 24 squares and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
