This was a recipe from a friend of my mom's and the only strawberry pie I've ever made. There is nothing better than freshly picked strawberries in the summer on this pie. Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/2 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
3/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 tablespoons strawberry-flavored jell-o® mix |
1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Bake pie crust until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove crust from oven and turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Beat cream cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a bowl until smoothly combined.
5. Pour filling into crust.
6. Bake until filling is set, about 30 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
8. Whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and strawberry gelatin in a saucepan until smooth; place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gelatin has dissolved and the glaze has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
9. Arrange the sliced strawberries atop the cheese filling.
10. Pour warm glaze over sliced strawberries. Chill thoroughly in refrigerator before serving.
