Method
Mix self-rising flour with softened margarine; spread into bottom of 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 15 min. until edges are golden brown. Let cool completely. Mix cream cheese, the 1 c. Cool Whip, and the confectioner?s sugar until smooth and fluffy; spread over cooled crust. Clean and slice strawberries and drain well. Spread strawberry pie glaze over cream cheese mixture; arrange sliced strawberries over the glaze layer; spread with remaining Cool Whip. Chill. Garnish with a strawberry and mint leaf.
Notes: Be sure not to over bake the crust, the edges will be light golden brown. When spreading the cream cheese over the crust, be gentle; the crust is very delicate & flaky. This recipe is very versatile and can be made with a lemon, chocolate, or coconut filling, in place of the strawberry. A wonderful light and refreshing dessert for any occasion.
Number of Servings: About 12 servings
