Try to get medium-sized fresh strawberries of a uniform size. They work the best and they usually taste the best too.

Wow, what a wonderfully delicious pie. The cream cheese and mascarpone filling's divine. Mascarpone cuts the tanginess of the cream cheese and helps to make the filling smooth and creamy. Toasted and crushed almonds added to the crust definitely give it a nutty flavor that complements the sweet graham crackers. Strawberries and chocolate on top make this an extra elegant dish that bursts with flavor. This dessert is very impressive. No need to tell your friends and family how easy it is to make.
