Suggestion Cool each layer in the refrigerator before you add next layer or they have a tendency to want to run together. Other than that this recipe is delicious. I made mine with Low fat and fat free products.

I made this last year for Easter and every one, including me, loved it. I'm making it again this year. I almost panicked that I had lost the recipe, until I found the website. I give it 10 stars!!!!!

This dessert was very good! However, the crust did not turn out. The recipe did not call for baking the crust, so when I put the cream cheese layer on, the crust did not stay firm. So, instead, I used Honey Maid Graham Cracker ready made pie crust. The recipe makes two pies. I made this for a group dinner and it was well liked by everyone. To make the Squares, I would bake the crust next time.

Sounds really good, but too much fat & sugar. We have lost 60 # with weightwatchers and need lower fat and lower sugar recip[es.

I HAVE MADE THIS MANY TIMES. I HAVE EVEN MADE IN THE COLDER MONTHS USING REGULAR COOL WHIP AND USE STRAWBERRIES ON THE TOP WHEN I COULD NOT FIND STRAWBERRY COOL WHIP. EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY LOVES IT AND I WILL BE MAKING THIS AGAIN FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAY

Made two pans of these for a memorial and wasn't long before the pans were empty and people were chasing me down for the recipe. Very easy to make and tastes great! I found the softer the cream cheese, the easier it was to spread on top of graham cracker crust. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
