Ingredients
- Pie Filling:
- 9 inch Perfect Pie Crust, baked and cooled
- 2 lb. frozen strawberries
- 2 T. lemon juice
- 2 T. water
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (two 1 oz. packages)
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 12 fresh strawberries hulled, for topping, if desired
- Cream Cheese Topping:
- 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 T. sugar
- 1/2 t. vanilla extract
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
Steps
- Pie Filling:
- Add frozen strawberries to a deep, large saucepan; cook over medium-low heat until some of the berries start to melt and release juice, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; cook strawberries, stirring frequently, until thick, about 25 minutes. Be sure to measure the cooked filling, there should be only 2 cups! If there is more, return the filling to the saucepan; cook until it's reduced to exactly 2 cups.
- While filling is cooking down, combine gelatin, lemon juice and water in a small bowl; set aside until gelatin is softened and mixture is thick, about 5 minutes.
