Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch baked shell
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 3 tbsp dairy sour cream
- 5 cup 4 to 6 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- whipped cream, if desired
Method
- Beat the softened cream cheese till fluffy. Add the sour cream and continue beating till smooth. Spread on the bottom of the shell; refrigerate.
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Mash enough of the lesser berries to make 1 cup. Force through a sieve; sieve more fruit if necessary to make 1 cup.
- Combine the sugar and cornstarch. Add 1/3 cup water and the sieved berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring, till the mixture is clear and thickened. Add a little red food coloring if desired.
- Fill the shell with the remaining whole strawberries, tips up. Pour the cooked, slightly cooled mixture over the top. Chill 1 hour. Serve with whipped cream.
