2. For filling, beat cream cheese and margarita mix until well blended. Fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping. Carefully spread cream cheese mixture evenly over crust. Refrigerate while preparing strawberry layer.

Add frozen strawberries and stir until strawberries separate and gelatin is thickened (a spoon drawn through mixture will leave an impression). Whisk in 3 c. of the whipped topping. Pour over cream cheese layer, spreading to edges. Refrigerate 3 hours to set.
4. Cut dessert into 15 squares. Garnish each serving with remaining whipped topping. Top with fresh strawberry and lime slices, if desired.
