We had a fabulous night with Steph and Chris!  Steph and I made this wonderful dessert for the boys.

2 teaspoons butter, melted
1/2 cup soft cream cheese (from 8-oz tub)
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon orange-flavored liqueur, if desired
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced (3 cups)

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Place cookies in blender, Cover; blend on high speed until finely crushed.  In small bowl, mix cookie crumbs and butter.  Spread on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake about 5 minutes or until brown.

2. In  large bowl, beat remaining ingredients except strawberries with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
