Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 (9 inch) baked pie crust

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

  • ½ cup water

Directions

  1. Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy. Add a little powdered sugar at a time, and beat slowly until incorporated. Mix in vanilla.

  2. Spread cream cheese mixture into the pie crust. Refrigerate until firm, 15 to 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, combine 3/4 cup of the strawberries, sugar, water, and cornstarch in a blender. Blend lightly. Reserve remaining strawberries.

  4. Pour blended strawberry mixture into a saucepan over medium heat; stir constantly until boiling. Stir for an additional 2 minutes once it boils; it should thicken very quickly. Remove from the heat and stir a few times while cooling, about 3 minutes.

  5. Remove chilled pie from the refrigerator and arrange reserved strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer. Pour thickened sauce over top. Return to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Cook's Notes:

Make sure you use sweet strawberries. It may seem obvious, but the first time I did this recipe, they weren't quite in season and so a little tart, and it wasn't as good.

I prefer to cut the strawberries in half so that there are smaller bites. I find the whole strawberries, while they look nicer, tend to be more difficult when I'm trying to cut or eat the pie. Personal preference.
