Ingredients

12 oz cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
¾ cup sugar
½ tsp grated lemon peel
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 9-inch baked pie shell
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp sugar
1 pint dry pint fresh strawberries, halved
light corn syrup

Method

Combine the cheese, eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, lemon peel and juice. Beat until smooth. Pour into the baked pie shell; bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Blend the sour cream and 2 tablespoons sugar. Spread over the baked pie and bake 10 minutes longer. Cool thoroughly. Chill if desired.
At serving time arrange the strawberries on the pie; brush with corn syrup.

Notes

When baking an unfilled pie shell first chill the pastry, then line with foil and fill 3/4 full with rice or dried beans to prevent shrinkage. Yield: 1 nine-inch pie. From Rosauers (Desserts DS-6).
