Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 9 inch pie crust ( i made homemade) can use store bought
CRUST I USED WHICH WAS VERY GOOD WITH THIS PIE ( I DO THE CRUST IN MY FOOD PROCESSOR ) I DID THIS IN MY FOOD PROCESSOR..PULSED THE SALT AND FLOUR, THEN ADDED THE SHORTENING...PULSED ABOUT 10 TIMES..THEN ADDED THE LIQUID TILL FORMED A BALL.
REFRIDGERATE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR
1 - 1/3 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c shortening
5 - 6 tsp milk
4 tsp water
CREAM CHEESE LAYER
1 pkg (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp sugar
1 - 1 1/2 Tbsp milk
GLAZE
1 3/4 c water
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 pinch salt
1/2 c sugar
1 - 3 oz box, strawberry gelatin
2 - 16 oz containers of fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Have crust prepared and cooled. Wash and slice your strawberries.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl; mix the cream cheese, sugar and milk till smooth.
  • 3. Spread the cream cheese layer evenly onto the cooled crust. Refrigerate just till set up.
  • 4. In a medium pan, whisk the water, corn starch, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, continue to stir until thickened. About 2 - 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the strawberry gelatin, blending well. Set aside to cool to about room temperature.
  • 5. After the glaze has had time to cool; blend it with the sliced strawberries. Stir to coat the strawberries well. I sometimes put this in the refrigerator till ready to fill the pie. Spread the strawberries over the chilled cream cheese layer.
  • 6. Refrigerate till ready to serve. I sometimes serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry. This is delicious..hope you like this pie as much as my family and friends do.
