2 tsp. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup cream cheese spread (from 8-oz. container)
6 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. orange juice
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced (3 cups)

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 golden brown. 
In a large bowl, beat remaining ingredients except strawberries with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
Divide strawberries among 4 large water glasses or individual dessert dishes.  Top each with about 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture; sprinkle each with 2 Tablespoons crumbs. 
Yields:  4 servings

Note:  You can use raspberries or a combination of your favorite berries instead of just strawberries.
