So, Valentine's Day is coming up. Are you doing anything special? I've decided to make a special dessert for my family, and thought maybe someone else might be looking for a fairly easy and delicious recipe, too. So, here ya go...
Ingredients:
1 prebaked 9" pastry shell
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1 box fresh strawberries
1/4 Cup water
2/3 Cup granulated sugar
4 tsp. cornstarch
Whipped cream
1. Use a store-bought pastry shell (easiest) or prepare and bake your own according to your own recipe. Cool.
2. Blend cream cheese and powdered sugar. Spread in bottom of pastry shell.
3. Rinse berries, hull and sort, reserving the largest and best berries. Crush enough remaining berries to make 1 cup.
4. In small saucepan, mix water, granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add crushed berries. Bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes or until thick and clear. Cool.
5. Press whole berries, tips up, into cream cheese. Spoon cooled strawberry mixture evenly over berries.
6. Chill for 3-4 hours.
7. When ready to serve, top pie with whipped cream.
