Looking for an amazing and easy dessert that is perfect for strawberry season?

A strawberry glaze, with fresh strawberries, are what top it off to perfection. It is out of this world, delicious!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:<\/h2>\n
\n
Instead of making cookie dough, can I use the prepackaged cookie dough?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Yes, to save time, you can grab a roll or tub of the premade cookie dough and use that as the cookie bar base.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I use a different cookie bar base?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Try switching up the flavors in this recipe. A chocolate chip or chocolate cookie base can be used instead of a sugar cookie base. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

What other fruit can I try?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Other fruits can be used: blueberries, raspberries and blackberries all work well in this recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

What if I don\u2019t like white chocolate chips?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

You could try chocolate chips for a chocolate covered strawberry type flavor. You could use Cool Whip instead for a Cool Whip and cream cheese mixture. You could try marshmallow fluff and cream cheese mixture too. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I make this ahead of time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Yes, this is a great dessert for making ahead of time. Since this recipe needs a minimum of one hour to chill, it\u2019s great for making earlier in the day or even the day before. I wouldn\u2019t make it more than a day in advance though.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I use frozen strawberries?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t recommend it. Only because even when thawed, frozen strawberries will release water and it will cause the glaze to break down. This is one of those desserts that really is best with fresh.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I use a pie filling instead?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Sure. If you want to use strawberry pie filling (or other fruit pie fillings) instead of making the strawberry layer, I do believe that would work instead.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I use the store bought strawberry glaze?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Yes, you can use store bought strawberry glaze if desired and just add the fresh sliced strawberries to it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

How long will leftovers last?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

If you have leftovers, you can place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them. They\u2019ll last 4-5 days. You can try to freeze them in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. The texture may change when thawing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
