Recipe Talk

Hi All, especially Peanutty Patty. You've helped so many people. I don't know how you know so much but here goes. The recipe is for a dessert bar. It was from Kraft using Philly cream cheese, strawberry jam and coconut. I have looked high and low and asked many websites. Could you help? I'm not sure that the recipe was baked. I think it might have been put in the fridge to set up. Please if you have any ideas. Let me know. It's driving me crazy. THANX!

Note: coconut can be added to any recipe.
