How To Make fresh strawberry / cream cheese pie - my way

Step 1

Have crust prepared and cooled. Wash and slice your strawberries.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl; mix the cream cheese, sugar and milk till smooth.
Step 3

Spread the cream cheese layer evenly onto the cooled crust. Refrigerate just till set up.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
