I have made this three times and it comes out great each time. The cream cheese in the filling really makes it different from other strawberry pies. I put really large chunks of strawberry in the topping so they do not break down so badly. Make sure you give it enough time to chill and set up. -
Definitely five stars. This recipe was perfect for all of my newly picked strawberries. I followed the recipe as is. I do agree with the other reviewers to wait until it's almost too thick when first putting the strawberries in the pot. I waited until it looked like preserves. Thanks for an awesome recipe, I can't wait to go strawberry picking again so that I can make another pie! -

Absolutely delicious and a real treat for my family today. I mixed some blueberries into the second half of the strawberry mixture (added off the heat). The cream filling was delicious, and the topping was a fruity delight. Thanks! -
My review is just for the strawberry topping although the whole thing sounds yummy! I used the topping as a sub for canned pie filling in recipe #211111 and it worked beautifully. I did have a bit of an issue with it not getting thick but eventually, cooking it _much_ longer than I anticipated that it would take, the cornstarch powered up and gave me a thick glossy filling. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Looking forward to making the whole pie!
