How to Make My Favorite Fresh Strawberry Pie
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch. Set aside.
- Crush 1/2 pint of the strawberries in a blender or with a potato masher. Add enough water to reach a total of 1 1/2 cups of crushed berries and their juice.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the crushed berries to a boil over medium heat.
- Stir in the sugar and cornstarch mixture all at once.
- Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in the strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved.
- Set aside to slightly cool.
- In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of the hot berry mixture until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the baked pie crust.
- Arrange the reserved 1 cup whole strawberries, stem end down, on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Pour the remaining hot berry mixture over the whole strawberries.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the pie is completely set.
- Garnish with whipped cream before serving (optional).
