Frozen Strawberry Squares Recipe

Frozen Strawberry Squares is a refreshing dessert made with fresh strawberries and cream. This frozen dessert has been one of the more popular dessert recipes ever since sharing it here many years ago.

While the official start to summer is still a few weeks away, it already feels like summer has arrived. Each year it seems like it goes from jackets with jeans to flip flop weather overnight. We’ve already had several days that have been quite hot. As hot as a …  Want to finish that sentence? I’ve never lived anywhere else to know what the norm is, but we hear weather related colloquialisms all the time here in the south.

For example:

It’s hotter than a billy goat in a pepper patch.
It’s as hot as a snakes butt on a hay ride. (you can use that one when it’s really cold too)
It’s as hot as a fox in a hen house.

Know any good ones? Around these parts we get our entertainment however we can.

While it may be getting as hot as hades outside, you can chill things down a bit with these Frozen Strawberry Squares. They’re a cool sweet treat, and so easy to whip up. Plus, you can make them a couple of days ahead of time. Perfect!

Crushed fresh strawberries and a homemade whipped topping are combined, then spread atop a crunchy nutty crust base. Then it’s all topped off with a sprinkling of more nutty crispy crust mixture that was reserved. That’s it! All that’s left to do is let it sit, chilling in the freezer for a while. Simple stuff.

Other berries may be substituted. Blueberries would be mighty fine. Raspberries? Yes, indeed! I think you’ll find this to be a light and refreshing dessert perfect for the end of a warm day. Enjoy! And stay cool, y’all!

Notes

Adapted from my Aunt Carole's "Hearts Go Home for the Holidays" Cookbook.

*Pasteurized egg whites are safe to eat uncooked. If you cannot find pasteurized eggs, pasteurized liquid egg white products are available in most grocery stores. They may take a bit longer to stiffen up. If needed, add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar.
