STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE
I’m so excited that berries are back in season! Strawberries and raspberries are definitely some of my favorite fruits, so I love any excuse to bake with them. This strawberry pie that I’m sharing today is the perfect pie for Summer BBQ’s and I’ll even make it for Thanksgiving if I can find fresh strawberries. The bigger and juicer the strawberries, the better! The flaky crust pairs so well with the sweet strawberry flavor and the richness of the cheesecake filling gives it that perfect creamy texture. So next time you pick up ripe strawberries at the store, don’t skip out on making my favorite strawberry pie recipe. It’s SO good!

INGREDIENTS
1 baked pie crust (completely cooled)
2 pounds strawberries (washed, hulled and dried)
8 ounce package cream cheese, softened (1 block)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Zest from 1 lemon (optional)
1 cup water
2 Tablespoon cornstarch
3 ounces strawberry gelatin (1 package)
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar in a large bowl. Beat until smooth. Add the whipping cream and beat on medium-high speed until a peak forms. Add freshly grated lemon zest if desired. Spread onto the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
Place the strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer. I like to layer two rows of sliced strawberries and one row of whole strawberries, however you could add all sliced to make it easier.
In a small sauce pan, heat the water, sugar and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir constantly. Once it has come to a boil, cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until it has become clear and thick. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin. Stir for one minute, or until the gelatin has dissolved. Then pour evenly over the top of the strawberries, making sure they all get coated with the glaze.
Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or until it has set. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy!
NOTES
Feel free to use a store bought or homemade pie crust. I halved my easy pie crust recipe.
I like to freeze my bowl and beaters before making the whipped topping. It speeds up the process. You can also buy a store bought strawberry glaze if you’d like to, however I prefer the homemade :)
