I wanted to make a strawberry pie for Sunday dinner, but I didn't want to use the glaze they have at the store. All the recipes I found used strawberry jello and I didn't want to use that either, so I made my own for the pie. I wasn't sure how it would be received because it is different, but everyone loved it. Hope you will too. Next time, I think I will leave out the blueberries and just use strawberries and raspberries and it will be a more traditional color for a strawberry pie.

Ingredients

1 cup blueberries
3 pints fresh strawberries
2 cups raspberries
1/3 cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 - prebaked pie crust for 1-crust pie
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

How To Make strawberry/berry pie

Step 1

Combine the blueberries, 1 pint of the strawberries, and raspberries, 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the berries break down and give up their juices, 4-5 minutes. Take the berries off the heat and blend them. I used an immersion blender. Then strain to remove as many of the seeds as possible. Let cool but not get cold and too thick to put on the pie.

Step 2

While the berries are cooling, beat the remaining 2/3 cup of sugar and the cream cheese with a mixer until smooth and light. Add one cup of cream and vanilla extract, and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and almost the consistency of whipped cream.
Step 3

To assemble the pie, spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pie crust and smooth it out. Place the remaining 2 pints of cleaned strawberries, either whole or sliced, on top of the cream cheese mixture. Then place the berry sauce over the strawberries.
Step 4

Whip the remaining cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and garnish the top of the pie with the cream.
