Strawberry Cream Squares – light and creamy layers with fresh strawberries and a graham cracker crust. Easy and delicious no bake dessert! 

I love no bake desserts.  Seriously, in the summer especially they are the only thing I make.  Lemon Lasagna Dessert?  Yep, on repeat when I need to go to parties all summer long.

Or maybe No Bake Oreo Cheesecake.  You get the flavor of cheesecake, but you don’t have to have the oven on for hours. Can’t beat that when it is hot out.  And as soon as strawberries start showing up in stores, all I can think about is Strawberry Ice Box Cake.  Just something about strawberries and cream together. Strawberry desserts are always a favorite with my entire family.

Easy no bake desserts are kind of my specialty, so today I am sharing one that is for all the strawberries and cream lovers out there.  These cream squares have a graham cracker crust topped with a sweetened cream cheese layer. Then a layer of vanilla pudding and then whipped cream.  Layer after layer of creamy deliciousness!

Fresh strawberries are folded into the layers, so you get a burst of slightly tart berries in each bite.  Strawberry desserts are definitely a favorite in this house.  Strawberry Crumb Bars are made every summer as soon as local fresh strawberries are available.

I first made this dessert years ago.  My husband found it online, and immediately asked that I make it.  He is not a chocolate person, more of a Key Lime Pie kind of guy.  So strawberry desserts are definitely his thing.  I made this with fresh strawberries, but you could easily do frozen. You could even change up the fruit to whatever your favorite is; blueberries, raspberries, bananas etc.

The layers remind me of dream bars. This Circus Animal Cookie Dream Bar is one my husband loves. I made it for him once, and he has been asking for it like crazy since. There is just something about layers of creamy goodness with a cookie crust!

No bake desserts are a life saver when it is hot out, but they are also great when you are short on time or just want something tasty to eat.  So pick up some strawberries from the store and add this Strawberry Cream Squares recipe to your must make list.  It will definitely impress next time you have guests over!
