Frozen Strawberry-White Chocolate Mousse Squares

We are having a new dessert and some tea on the patio.  You can choose which mug you'd like.  


I must warn you about this mug.  While it's so pretty, it's rather difficult to drink from by the way it's rounded at the top.

Oh my goodness, this dessert happens to be my new favorite!  Even my son, who is staying here with me, said, "That dessert was so creamy and good".  It's a great dessert to have on hand in the freezer and to pull out when you have unexpected company or for a perfect ending to a meal.  Please try it soon!  It's cool, utterly creamy and a perfect for summer.


Frozen Strawberry-White Chocolate Mousse Squares adapted from Kraftrecipes.com


20  Chocolate Creme Cookies, finely crushed (about 1 cup)

1/4 cup  butter, melted

1-1/2 pkg.  (4 oz. each)  White Chocolate (6 oz.), divided

2 tubs  (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese Spread

1 can  (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup  mashed fresh strawberries

1 cup  thawed frozen Whipped Topping

MIX cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of plastic wrap-lined 9-inch square pan. (I didn't do this.)
MICROWAVE 5 oz. chocolate in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until melted, stirring after 1 min. Beat cream cheese spread in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in milk. Blend in melted chocolate and strawberries. Whisk in thawed frozen whipped topping; pour over crust.
FREEZE 6 hours or until firm. Remove dessert from freezer 15 min. before serving. Shave remaining 1 oz. chocolate into curls; place on dessert. Use plastic wrap to remove dessert from pan before cutting to serve. (See NOTE)

*NOTE (I found it easier to not line the dish with plastic and to leave the dessert out on the counter for about 10 minutes to make cutting easier.)

I am sharing this with:

  10. Hi Kitty,
    Your dessert looks amazing! I must tell you that I made your Raspberry Crumble bar on the weekend for a Bridal Shower and mentioned it in my blog today! It was so delicous! Now I must try this one! It looks perfect for my rehearsal dinner party for my son's wedding! Thank you soooo much! Love the strawberry cup but I am sure I would drop tea on me! Karen

  13. I love that strawberry mug, even if my drink might pour down my chin because I'm never a careful guzzler. It all looks so happy and springy to me, and the recipe really does sound delicious.

  16. This is my first visit to your blog. What a beautiful blog it is. I love the classic black, white, and red. One of my blogs is devoted solely to classic films, and those are my colors there. They are just so classy!

    The strawberry dessert sounds delish. It would have been a perfect Memorial Day dessert. Since that is now past, I'm thinking it will work for the 4th of July!

    Thanks for sharing,
    Patti

  18. I love your strawberry mug! So cute! Everything looks wonderful. I would love to try the recipe, but can't...sigh...all the good things have milk products in them and I'm just getting over a sinus infection. Rats! But thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

  27. I am not showing these to John. He is a strawberry freak, but I might just have to surprise him. That table is summer to the 10th power. Just beautiful...even the cup that might be a challenge to drink from.
