Ingredients
Scale
- 12 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 envelopes Dream Whip
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 8 cups strawberries (sliced)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup cane sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, flour, and chopped pecans until well-blended. Press into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer. Gradually add Dream Whip while mixing, then pour in whole milk and vanilla extract. Mix well and gradually incorporate powdered sugar until fully combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pecan crust evenly. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced strawberries with water and cane sugar; stir until dissolved. Mix in corn starch until thickened before pouring over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight to set properly before cutting into squares and serving.
