Summer Strawberry Pie
My sweet mother in law, Ruth used to make the best Strawberry Pie. Everytime I see fresh strawberries, I think of her Summer Sunday Strawberry pie and smile. Here is a variation of her recipe..I have added a little cream cheese and some strawberry preserves instead of using jello. Enjoy!
- 1 baked 9” pie crust, cooled
- 3 cups fresh whole strawberries, washed and hulled
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbs milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 jar strawberry preserves, heated to boiling point
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, milk and vanilla until blended.
Spread mixture in bottom of baked pie shell. Spread cream cheese mixture with melted strawberry preserves. Save a little to drizzle over strawberries.
Arrange whole strawberries, bottoms up on top of mixture. Drizzle preserves over strawberries. Chill at least 1 hour. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
