How to Make Strawberries And Cream Dessert Squares Cookie Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 15x10x1 inch or 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine one package (16 ounces) of your favorite chocolate cookie mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is light golden brown.
  6. Let the crust cool completely (about 30 minutes).
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips uncovered on high for 45-60 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Stir until completely smooth.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened, with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  9. Stir in the melted chocolate chips until well combined.
  10. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  11. Refrigerate while you make the topping.
  12. In a small bowl, roughly crush 1 cup of fresh strawberries.
  13. In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  14. Stir in the crushed strawberries and 1/3 cup water.
  15. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  16. Stir in a few drops of red food coloring (optional).
  17. Let the strawberry mixture cool for 10 minutes.
  18. Gently stir in the remaining 3 cups of sliced fresh strawberries.
  19. Spoon the strawberry topping evenly over the cream cheese filling.
  20. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the topping is set.
  21. Serve within 4 hours for best results.
  22. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.
