Directions:Preheat oven to 375º
For crust:
Mix melted butter with flour, confectioners sugar, & pecans.
Press into a buttered 10” pie plate.
Bake for 25 min. or until light brown.
Allow to cool completely.
Topping:
Mash enough strawberries to make 1 cup.
Cut tops off rest of strawberries and set aside.
Place mashed berries in a saucepan and add water.
Mix sugar and cornstarch into crushed berry mixture and bring to boil on top of stove, stirring.
Boil about 1 min. or until clear and thickened.
Set aside to cool.
Filling:
Whip cream until stiff.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese with vanilla and confectioners sugar. Carefully fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
Spread into cooled crust and refrigerate.
When crushed berry mixture is cool, pie can be assembled.
Stand whole berries (or halved if you prefer) on top of cream filling, cut side down.
When entire filling is covered with whole berries, carefully spoon cooled crushed berry mixture over all. Cream filling should not be seen between whole berries.
Once crevices have been filled, do not overload the pie with the crushed berry mixture, as it will just drip over the sides.
Any left over crushed berry mixture is yummy on toast or English muffins. |
