Strawberry Cream Pie - Sister Bailey

One of Sarah's YW leaders made this for us, and it is one of the best pies I've ever tasted!

Part 1 - Crust

1 cube melted butter

1 C flour

1/4 C brown sugar

Put all 3 ingredients in a 9x13 pan. Mix together to make a paste. Take a fork and press the paste evenly to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Bake at 400 for 7 min. Then remove from oven and immediately stir with a fork to break up into crumbs. While still warm, put the crumbs in a pie pan and press to form crust. Let crust cool before putting in filling.


Part 2 - Filling

1 8 oz. brick of cream cheese

1/3 C lemon juice

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 t vanilla

Mix all four ingredients in a blender until completely smooth. Pour into pie crust.


Part 3 - Topping

1/2 C sugar

1/8 C corn starch

1/8 C strawberry jello [powder]

dash of salt

1 C water

Put all 4 dry items together in a pan and mix. Then add the water and stir until smooth. Cook on stove at medium heat until it boils and becomes clear (this does not take long). Let cool until slightly warm. Use with fresh berries to top pie. Let sit in fridge for 6 hours before serving.
