Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 Graham cracker crust Prepared; 9 inches

Strawberry Pie Filling

  • 3 cups Strawberries sliced or chopped; divided
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz Cream cheese
  • ½ cup Powdered sugar
  • 1½ tsp Lemon extract can use vanilla instead
  • 1 cup Cool Whip can also use one cup heavy cream; beating in a separate bowl until peaks form

Instructions

  • Prepare graham cracker pie crust according to box directions if making a homemade pie crust. Allow to cool while preparing the pie filling.
  • In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and heat over medium-low heat. Stir constantly so sugar does not burn. Gently mash strawberries as they soften and mixture thickens. After about five minutes, turn heat up to medium high and bring to a boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
  • Pour thickened strawberry mixture into a separate container so the mixture will cool faster and not continue to cook. Allow to cool on counter. Mix in the remaining cup of strawberries. Then, place bowl in refrigerator for about one hour.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon extract (or vanilla) until smooth. Fold in the cup of Cool Whip.
  • Pour cream cheese mixture into the cooled pie shell. Set pie plate in the refrigerator until you are ready for the next step.
  • Spread the cooled strawberry topping over pie - ensuring that a nice mound of strawberries fills the center.
  • Allow the pie to set in the refrigerator for 3 hours or longer. Pie should be firm before slicing.
