Grandma Jolley's Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie
This is a fresh strawberry pie that has a cream cheese filling with almond extract in the bottom of the pie shell then topped with fresh strawberries in a strawberry glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 quart fresh strawberries Washed, stems removed, and quartered
- 1 pint strawberry glaze
- 1 package 8 oz. cream softened cream cheese (regular kind)
- 4 Tbsp Milk
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Bake the Pie Crust using this recipe above or you can use a frozen pie crust from the grocery store. Follow the directions for baking the pie crust. Let cool while preparing the rest below.
- Wash the 1 quart fresh strawberries then remove the stems and cut them into quarters
- Toss the strawberries in a bowl with the 1 pint strawberry glaze.
- In a stand mixer or in a bowl with a hand mixer, blend the 1 package 8 oz. cream softened cream cheese (don't use a low-fat version), and add the 4 Tbsp sugar, 4 Tbsp Milk, and 2 tsp almond extract. Whip the cream cheese mixture until smooth. You might need to scrape the sides of the bowl down and mix for a bit longer to get everything blended well
- Take the cream cheese mixture and spread it evenly on the bottom of the pie crust and part way up the sides of the baked and cooled pie crust shell. Then add the strawberries and glaze mix over the top of your cream cheese mixture.
