From: Andrea Nielsen
Crust:
2 cups Flour
1 cup Butter
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Nuts (optional)
Filling:
1 cup Whipped Cream (topping or whip your own)
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 8 oz. Package Cream Cheese (softened)
Topping:
1 Package Danish Dessert
1 lb fresh or frozen berries (at least!)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix flour,butter, sugar and nuts until combined.
- Press into a large pan (like a cookie sheet with sides). You can use a 9x13 pan, but the crust will be thicker.
- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until light brown.
- Cool (at least 15 min) then crumble.
- After crumbled, press down in pan and place pan in the fridge to harden (so much easier to spread the cream part on hard crust!).
- Mix up the cream cheese until smooth. Add whipped cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Whip those ingredients up until fluffy.
- Carefully, spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
- Make the danish dessert according to the pie glaze directions on the box. Cool slightly then add fruit.
- Pour over the cream cheese mixture.
- Chill.
Helpful Hints
- I recommend making the crust ahead of time so it's easier to spread
later. The longer the crust has cooled, but easier the spreading will
be.
- The cream cheese mixture tends to be a little thin when making it in a huge cookie pan. You may want to double it and save some of it for graham cracker dipping or something. Or, try adding a half more of the ingredients for the cream cheese mixture.
- I like to almost double the amount of fruit.
- When doubling the recipe and using two large cookie sheets, triple it instead. Otherwise, it's a little too thin to go around.
