Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

Directions

Preheat oven at 350℉ (180℃).

To prepare crust, prepare a 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray and flour.

Place flour in a bowl and drizzle with oil.

Use a pastry blender to evenly distribute the oil and produce a mixture the consistency of coarse cornmeal.

Sprinkle on the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue mixing until you can gather the dough into a ball.

Roll the dough into a 11 inch circle onto a floured surface.

Patch any cracks that may form, but otherwise try not to handle the dough more than necessary.

Transfer the dough to prepared pie pan.

Trim the dough, leaving a 1 inch overhang.

Crimp the overhanging dough into a decorative edge.

Chill the crust 20 minutes. To prepare filling, in a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ½ cup sugar, lemon peel, and juice until creamy.

Spread mixture into pie shell and top with fresh strawberries.

In a saucepan, cook frozen strawberries, remaining sugar, and cornstarch until bubbly then cook two minutes more.

Cool completely; pour over strawberries in pie shell.

Chill.
