Summer Berry Cheese Pie
I love to make this pie with fresh blueberries and strawberries from area farms. It's an easy summer treat that my family just gobbles up.
6-8 Servings
Prep: 25 min. + chilling
Ingredients
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced,
divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar,
divided
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 to 4 drops red food coloring, optional
1 pint fresh blueberries
Directions
In a large bowl, combine half of the strawberries and lemon juice;
mash berries. Add 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside. In a
large bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon peel and remaining sugar
until smooth. Spread into the crust.
In a large saucepan, combine cornstarch and reserved strawberry
mixture until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes
or until thickened. Stir in food coloring if desired. Cool slightly.
Fold in blueberries and remaining strawberries. Spread over cream
cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Yield:
