How to Make Lauren's Strawberry Pie

  1. Prepare and bake a 9-inch pie crust. Cool completely.
  2. **Strawberry Topping:**
  3. Wash and halve 2 pounds of fresh strawberries.
  4. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add 1/2 cup water and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves completely.
  6. Add half of the strawberries and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, a few drops of red food coloring (optional), and the remaining strawberry halves.
  8. Let the strawberry topping cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  9. **Cream Filling:**
  10. While the strawberry filling chills, whip 2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  11. In a separate bowl, beat together 16 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
  12. Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
  13. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the cooled pie crust.
  14. Once the strawberry filling is completely chilled, gently spoon it over the cream cheese filling.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the pie to set completely before serving.
