Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

So you’ve had Strawberry Pie. Have you had it with a Cream Cheese Bottom? Well if you haven’t I suggest you take a look at this recipe. Strawberry Pie with Cream Cheese. I use strawberry jello with cornstarch for my glaze as well as strawberry puree. I find this combination sets better than simply using the cornstarch alone. And to me that’s important. But what really sets this pie apart is the Cream Cheese bottom. It’s a fantastic combination of flavors and texture.
