Even better than strawberry shortcake! |
The beginning of June is prime strawberry season here in Chicago. When I was growing up in the country, my birthday always had fresh strawberries in it - usually ones I'd picked that morning. The smell of a perfectly ripe strawberry brings me back to those dewy mornings walking barefoot out to the strawberry patch...and my mom brewing fresh jam in the afternoon. Lovely.
Ingredients
For the Crust
1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp lemon zest
For the Bars
12 oz. light cream cheese1 tbsp vanilla
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup blueberries (or blackberries, or both!)
1 cup raspberries
1/3 cup Triple Sec liqueur
Instructions
Grease a 9x11 baking pan and spread the dough on the bottom of the pan. Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool 15 minutes.
Whip the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar together. Spread over the crust, then top with rows of berries. Drizzle the orange liqueur over the berries. Cut into squares and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Makes 15-18 bars.
