Steps:
- 1. Make your filling first, as it takes awhile to cool. In a saucepan, add sugar, water, salt, corn starch, 7 - up, cook until thickened.
- 2. Add strawberry gelatin, stir well making sure it's thoroughly combined. Set aside to cool.
- 3. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Make your crust: I do this in my food processor...Add 2 cups of flour and the 3/4 cup of softened butter...pulse 4 or 5 times until pebble - size crumbs form. Add the pecans and pulse just enough to blend evenly.
- 4. Press this into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
- 5. Set aside to cool.
- 6. Now, make your cream cheese layer. In a medium sized bowl, mix the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of cool whip, until smooth.
- 7. As soon as crust is cool, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
- 8. When filling mixture is cool, fold in fresh strawberries. Spread this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- 9. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until set. Before serving, top with remaining whipped cream and more chopped pecans, if preferred.
- 10. I usually just add the additional cool whip as I serve it... Enjoy! It's delicious!!
