After two days of sad posts, I thought I better post something happy so I don't scare all my readers away. Happy for me is food and what says "Happy," better than fresh strawberries and cream cheese? I will share tonight's dinner recipe later today so that I can get pictures for you.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie
1 – 9 inch baked pie shell - cooled
1 pint fresh strawberries (I always add more because can you ever really have too many strawberries?)
1 package strawberry Danish Dessert
8 ounces cream cheese - softened
3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Prepare Danish Dessert following directions on package for pie glaze.
Chill in sink of ice water - but don't get the ice water in the dessert mixture.
With electric mixer, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Spread in the bottom of cooled pie shell.
Clean, remove caps, and slice strawberries. Add to cooled Danish Dessert.
Pour filling/strawberry mixture over cream cheese mixture in pie shell. Chill for several hours before serving.
This pie is so good that even my son who doesn’t eat sweets loves it. I make my pie shell using the standard oil pastry recipe. You can use any pie shell you want – even pre-made.
