Preparation

Step 1

For the crust: Mix the first (3) ingredients well and press onto a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Bake at 300° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
For the filling (next 3 ingredients): Melt the chips (I use the microwave on LO); add in the cream; mix well. Stir in the cream cheese and blend until smooth (I use a hand mixer). Spread on the cooled crust.
Slice strawberries (I use an egg slicer).
Arrange sliced strawberries on the creamy layer.
For the glaze: Combine the last (4) ingredients. Cook until thickened on medium heat, stirring constantly. Cool slightly and pour over the strawberries. Chill.
Serve with whipped cream (optional): Whip 2 cups heavy cream, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla.
Dessert should be served within 24 hours or the crust gets soft.
