Desserts - Pies and Tarts
FRENCH STRAWBERRY PIE

2 packages (3-oz. each) cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream, whipped
1 baked (9-inch) pie crust
1 quart strawberries
FOR THE GLAZE:
water (as needed)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
Red food coloring
1/2 cup whipped cream (for decorating)

Mash cream cheese until soft, mix in 1/2 cup sugar. Fold in whipped cream. Spread over the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Press about half of the whole berries into the cream cheese mixture with tips up.

Mash remaining berries and strain or liquefy in blender. Measure and add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups of liquid. Add lemon juice. Mix 1 1/4 cups sugar and cornstarch together in pan. Gradually stir in strawberry liquid and cook until thick and clear, stirring often. Add a few drops of red food coloring. Cool.

Pour cooled glaze over berry pie. Chill until firm (about 3 hours).

Decorate with whipped cream.

Makes 1 (9-inch) pie
