Fresh Strawberry Pie
Recipe

This simple pie depends almost entirely on berries for its flavor, so the fruit should be peak-season perfect. When made with fresh strawberries straight from the farmer’s market, it’s a show-stopper.

Ingredients

Serves 1 9-inch pie

1	recipe	baked graham cracker crust
8	ounces	cream cheese, room temperature
4	ounces	sour cream, room temperature
1/2	cup	sugar
1	tablespoon	fresh lemon juice
1	teaspoon	vanilla
1	recipe	strawberry glaze
2	pints	medium to large strawberries, sliced flat across the bottom*

*Buy strawberries at your local farmers market for best flavor. Supermarket berries are often pretty, but tasteless.

Directions

Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Spread the mixture over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Cover with plastic and refrigerate 4–6 hours until well chilled.
Remove from the refrigerator and spread 2/3 cup of the glaze over the top of the cheesecake cream.
Arrange the strawberries on top of the pie and brush each with the glaze. Pour the remaining glaze over the pie.
Chill for at least four, but not more than 12 hours before serving.

Preparation time: Approximately 20–25 minutes plus 8–18 hours downtime.
