This turned out very very well. Altho I think I am making a few changes the next time I make this. I was very unhappy with the crust. Had no flavor and after sitting in the fridge for 8 hours, became hard as a rock. Could not cut into it at all. A chocolate chip cookie crust with this is much better. The cream cheese part was so delicious and easy to make. Altho it was way too sweet. Less powdered sugar would be better.

Really nice summertime dessert. I did take some other reviewers advice and made a few changes. I added 1/2 cup sugar to the crust which was perfect. I'm also not a fan of the prepared strawberry topping so I made my own like a strawberry pie with 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 4 T. cornstarch - cooked until clear, then added 4 T. strawberry jello. It was very pretty and nice that most of it can be made the day before. I will definitely make again!

I like the quickness of this dessert & the idea of chopped pecans in the crust, but crust was flavorless, and the cake part was way too sweet, I went ahead and made fresh strawberry glaze which was the perfect amount of sweetness instead of ready to use which I thought would have been too sweet. Next time I will add sugar to the crust like other mention and I will only use 1/2 to 1/2 cup confectioners sugar.

this dessert is delicious! I left off the strawberry glaze and did a graham cracker crust instead. It was very good!

This is simply awesome. I've given out the recipe at least 10 times. The only thing I changed was using refrigerated sugar cookie dough becasue I was in a hurry the first time I made it. I'm sure the crust in the recipe is fantastic, but the sugar cookie dough was good, so I'll continue taking this short cut. Thanks, I'm making it again tomorrow!!

I agree with other reviewers after making this as written. Crust was flavorless and dry. Use a graham cracker crust. I also reduced the powdered sugar to 1 1/2 cups, otherwise it would have been too sweet.

Way too much sugar in the cream cheese layer, holy cow it was really sweet. I didn't like the taste of the strawberry glaze I bought so I left it off and just had the berries on the top. Really tasty though.

This recipe was delicious! The only thing that I did different was that after I baked the crust, I boiled water in a teapot and added some sugar to it. With that I took a little brush and spread it over the crust. That way the crust wasn't bitter at all. Other than that it was delicious.
