Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of the baking pan in an even layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• While the crust chills, prepare the cheesecake filling. Add strawberries and sugar to your blender or food processor; blend to get the strawberries chopped up nicely. Add cream cheese and vanilla. Blend until smooth and well combined. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and fold in the cool whip.
• Pour the strawberry cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust and smooth with a spatula.
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours (or overnight). Use the parchment paper to lift the bars from the pan and place on a cutting board. Slice into bars and top with fresh strawberries, if desired. Serve immediately for a more frozen treat or allow them to soften at room temperature for 30 minutes if you prefer.
