Ingredients

Pie Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter frozen and diced, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup water ice
Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 5 cups strawberry about 1 1/2 pounds, fresh
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4-5 drops red food coloring
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Pie Crust:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the flour, salt, and butter to a food processor and pulse, adding the water (I spoon the water directly out of the cup of ice water directly into the food processor to make sure it is still ice cold) through the chute one tablespoon at a time until the dough begins tiny crumbles (don't let it become a ball).
  2. Empty it into a sheet of plastic wrap and press it quickly into a ball (you don't want the heat of your hands to melt the butter) and refrigerate for 4 hours before rolling it out to use.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a pie plate with your pie crust.
  2. Line with parchment paper and add beans or pie weights to hold crust in place.
  3. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Let cool.
  5. Add 2 cups of strawberries to a saucepan with water, sugar, cornstarch and food coloring.
  6. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  7. Cook for 4-5 minutes until thickened, whisking constantly to break down the strawberries, then remove from pan and let cool for 30 minutes.
  8. In a large bowl add cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and using a hand mixer, beat well until creamy.
  9. In a second bowl add heavy cream and beat on medium speed until it holds stiff peaks.
  10. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese filling.
  11. Add cream cheese mixture to pie crust.
  12. Halve remaining 3 cups strawberries and add to pie crust.
  13. Top with strawberry sauce and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
