Quick and Easy Strawberry Shortcake

Michele in NJ's Note:

This is so simple to throw together for a quick summer dessert. Tastes like a combination of strawberry shortcake and cheesecake, while being very light tasting at the same time. I have also made this with fat free cream cheese and "lite" cool whip with great results.

Very Good and Super Easy! My kids absolutely love it. The cookie crust adds a little extra goodness. I loved the cream layer, though. I only used one pint of strawberries and 1 container of glaze and it was perfect. Definitely should try!

this was a very simple and tasty recipe to make. I only used 1 pkg of strawberry glaze though instead of the 2. This would be great for get togethers. Thanks for posting it.
