Strawberries & Cream Dessert Squares

I have this vision when I die and go to heaven. There will be a huge buffet table with all of my favorite foods on them. They will all be zero calories. I have a list of some of my favorite recipes that will be served, but this will definitely be a dessert! It is heavenly. Picture this. A sugar cookie crust, with cream cheese and white chocolate on top of that with the most perfect costco strawberry glaze on top. It can’t get much better than that. And this won the 2008 Best Red Carpet Dessert. So I am pretty sure that you will love it too!

Review:  I make this dessert all of the time. I usually just use my homemade strawberry jam for the topping, but was out of it when I made it this time. It is great either way, but I liked using up some of my awesome jam. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
