This pie has a delicious twist. I no longer make regular strawberry pie because this one is so good. Ingredients:
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1 cup heavy cream |
1 (9 inch) baked pie shell |
1/3 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/3 cup water |
1/3 cup grenadine syrup |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in vanilla and almond extract. In a separate bowl, whip cream until peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture. Spread over bottom of baked pie shell. Chill.
2. In a saucepan, mix together sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water until smooth. Add grenadine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly, or until thickened. Allow to cool, then chill.
3. Just before serving, stir together strawberries and cooled cornstarch mixture until evenly coated. Spread over cream cheese layer.
