Recipe type: Pie
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 deep-dish frozen pie crust, baked according to directions (or make your own)
  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup sugar, a little less if strawberries are nice and sweet
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • the juice of half a lemon
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
  1. Bake the deep-dish frozen pie crust according to package directions. Let the pie crust cool completely.
  2. Chop one pound of the strawberries into tiny pieces. You can do this by hand or with a food processor.
  3. Cut the other pound of strawberries in half. If there are some huge ones, cut them in thirds or fourths and reserve them for later.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, the juice of half a lemon, and the finely chopped strawberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. In a small/medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until completely combined and smooth.
  7. Spread cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the completely cooled pie crust.
  8. Add the largely chopped strawberries to the thickened strawberry glaze mixture and stir gently until they are all coated.
  9. Next, pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
  10. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until ready to serve.
