Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

For the crust, stir graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake at 350ºF for 8–9 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes.

For the filling, use a mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, and continue mixing until smooth. In separate bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and carefully spread in baked crust. Chill for 1–2 hours.

For the topping, in small saucepan, whisk cornstarch, sugar, strawberry gelatin, water and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10–15 minutes. Add strawberries to the pan and stir to coat.

Layer glazed strawberries over the pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
