How to Make Fantastic Twinkie Refrigerator Strawberry Shortcake

  1. Prepare a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries with 1/2 cup of ready-made strawberry glaze. Set aside.
  3. Chill the glazed strawberries in the refrigerator until ready to use (about 30 minutes).
  4. Arrange 1 package (16 count) of whole Twinkies in the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing them down slightly to create an even layer.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 1 (8 ounce) package of softened cream cheese with 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip using a spatula until just combined. (For extra creaminess, use a 12-ounce container).
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of Twinkies.
  8. Spoon the chilled glazed strawberries over the cream cheese mixture.
  9. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend and the dessert to set.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
