1. Rinse the strawberries and set aside.
2. Set out the cream cheese to soften.
3. Cook the pie crust according to the package, or make your own. Fork the crust before you put it into the oven to keep it from bubbling. Once it’s cooked, set it aside to cool completely.
4. While the pie crust is cooking, mash the biggest strawberries until you have 1 cup. Set aside.
5. Place cornstarch and sugar in a medium saucepan and mix well.
6. Add the 1 cup of mashed strawberries and cornstarch and sugar mix.
7. Heat gently on medium heat until sauce thickens. Stir continually. Set it aside to cool down.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy.
9. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
10. Cut the tops off of the smallest strawberries and place them next to each other, “face down” in the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the pie crust.
11. Pour the cooled strawberry sauce over the whole strawberries in the pie.
12. Top strawberry pie with whipped cream. Chill for about an hour and serve cold.

Make Your Own Whipped Cream
