Are you guys excited for strawberry season? I can’t get enough. I bought a bunch to make this Avocado Strawberry Caprese Salad and had some leftovers so I decided dessert needed to happen. I turned to my good friend Shelly’s new cookbook, The Cookies and Cup Cookbook, and found these dreamy Strawberries and Cream Bars. I got out all of the ingredients and started baking ASAP!
I am usually a chocolate dessert person, but when strawberries are in season, I take a little break from chocolate and choose strawberry desserts. Strawberry shortcake, strawberry cake, and strawberries with whipped cream are always a good idea! And now I have a new strawberry dessert to add to my list because these Strawberries and Cream Bars are amazing!!
The sugar cookie crust is super easy to make, I bet you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen right now. When the crust cools spread the bars with white chocolate cream cheese frosting. Yeah, you read that right, white chocolate AND cream cheese…YES!!! Top the bars with ripe and juicy strawberries and you have a beautiful and delicious dessert!
Now, let’s talk about The Cookies and Cups Cookbook because it is SWEET! Shelly’s book is filled with decadent desserts that are sure to cure all of your sugar cravings. I love a good sweet treat and Shelly’s dessert recipes are incredible. I started bookmarking recipes to try, but then I realized I wanted to make them all. No need to bookmark, I just need to start baking! Oh, and if you are more of a savory person, there is a section with quick savory recipes. There is something for everyone! I highly recommend The Cookies and Cups Cookbook, you should probably buy it NOW…and I really think you should start with the Strawberries and Cream Bars. They are the perfect dessert bars for spring and summer!
