Instructions
Pre bake 11” pie shell completely and set aside to cool
Using a blender or food processor, purée 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Measure out 1 cup of strawberry purée.
Mix the first 4 ingredients(dry ingredients )of strawberry glaze in a medium sauce pot. Add strawberry puree and water. Blend well with the dry ingredients. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Set aside to cool about 15-20 minutes
Blend cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream and vanilla bean paste until very smooth. Spread evenly in the bottom of the baked, cooled pie crust
Start layering the 4 cups of strawberries in the pie shell. With each layer spread glaze over the top. Glaze does not have to be completely cool. The strawberries will cool it off much more. After completing layering, Pour remaining glaze over the top and spread evenly.Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
Top with whip cream covering the top of the pie or serve with a large dollop on top of each slice. Enjoy
