Strawberry Custard Bars have a buttery crust, a super creamy custard-like filling with lots of chopped strawberries, and a cream cheese topping with a little tang. These scrumptious bars are perfect for celebrating Spring and strawberry season.

 
These Strawberry Custard Bars start with a buttery, chewy shortbread-like crust made from flour, sugar and butter.
The filling has the texture of custard with lots of chopped strawberries. You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries. If you use frozen, fully defrost them and lay them out on several layers of paper towels to soak up excess moisture so that your filing won’t be runny.

 
There’s plenty of sweetness in the custard layer to compliment the strawberries and heavy whipping cream makes this layer super rich and creamy. On top is a cream cheese layer with whipped cream mixed in to lighten it some and make it more spreadable.

Strawberry Custard Bars are great for spring potlucks and picnics!
