THE TIMEKEEPER CHRONICLES

Since strawberries are in full swing right now, here's what looks like a delicious desert using strawberries. If it's anything like my Grandma Miller's Blueberry Pizza, then it will make you drool.

Another fine recipe from the Happy Cookers Group - Kudos to Pa

Bake at 350 F. for 18 to 22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth. Spread over the crust. Arrange sliced strawberries on the top. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and crushed berries until blended. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for two minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly. Spoon over the strawberries. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 12-16 servings
