Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

I made this Strawberry Cheesecake Pie over the weekend. It was fairly simple to make & it tasted sooo good. My brother-in-law loved it so much, he ate 3 slices!

This recipe will be great once the temps heat up because it requires no baking (other than the crust, if you choose to make your own).

Here is the recipe:

Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

from Icebox Pies by Lauren Chattman

2 tablespoons cold water
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 prepared crumb crust (I made a homemade graham cracker crust, but I would imagine you could use a store bought, ready made one)

Place the cold water in a small bowl & sprinkle gelatin on top. Let the gelatin stand to dissolve. In the workbowl of a food processor, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, strawberries, sugar & vanilla and proccess the mixture until smooth.

Put 1 inch of water in a small saucepan & bring the pot to a bare simmer. Place the bowl containing the gelatin on top of the simmering water and heat, whisking constantly, just until the gelatin melts, 30 seconds to 1 minute. With the food processor running, pour the gelatin mixture through the feed tube into the strawberry mixtre and process to create a smooth puree.

Scrape the filling into the prepared pie shell. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it until the filling is completely set, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.

Makes 1 (9 inch) pie; 6-8 servings

Now go ahead & enjoy!
