Directions:
- Soften the cream cheese, but not to the point of it melting. Let it sit out for a while.
- - Filling -
- Crush half of the strawberries and mix with the sugar and Corn Starch.
- Bring to a boil on Medium (or Med-High) and then simmer until any starchy taste has been cooked away (about 2 min). Don't cook longer, though, as the starch may break down and the liquid will thin out again.
- Fold in the rest of the strawberries (sliced) and lemon juice. (See notes below on Corn Starch)
- - Pie Crust -
- Cream the cream cheese and 2 T. sugar until creamy.
- If it is still pretty stiff microwave a few seconds at a time until it is softer, but still not melted. Line the pie crust. Be very careful not to pull, push, or lift to hard lest the crust brakes.
- - Assembly -
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the crust. Let it cool until room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours so that the filling thickens.
- Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
- - Notes on Corn Starch -
- Cornstarch is a common thickening agent in the culinary arts, but if you add it directly to the liquid you want to thicken, it will clump up. To thicken a sauce or soup with cornstarch, you first need to make a slurry, which is a mixture of equal parts cornstarch and liquid (usually water, stock or wine).
- For each cup of liquid you want to thicken, start with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a small bowl. Add an equal amount of cold liquid and stir until a smooth paste forms. This is your slurry. Whisk the slurry into the hot, simmering liquid that you want to thicken.
