Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

My husband loves this recipe it is basically a cheesecake and pie recipe combined and tweaked to work together. It is great for a hot summer day.

Gram Cracker Crust

6 tablespoons Butter
1 1/2 cups gram crackers
2 tablespoons of sugar

 bake 16 min. 325

Strawberry Pie Filling

6 oz or so of cream cheese, softened (just enough to make a nice layer on the bottom of the pie crust)
1 large package of strawberries about 2 pounds
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Fill pie crust with cream cheese on bottom just enough to make a nice layer, then add enough strawberries to fill pie to the top. I cut some in half and leave some whole to really pack it full. Mash left over strawberries should be a little less then half of what you started with then add 1 cup of water bring to a boil over medium heat. Sire in cornstarch and sugar and mix slowly return to a boil stir and cook 1 min. Pour over strawberries and cream cheese filling and let cool for at least 2 hours.

 

When cool top with whip cream or ice cream. Enjoy! :)
