Description

This Strawberry Glace Pie is a stunning dessert that combines the bright, fresh flavor of summer berries with a luscious, glossy glaze. The base features a smooth, tangy cream cheese layer spread over a crisp baked pie shell, providing a perfect contrast to the sweet strawberry filling. The glaze itself is thickened with cornstarch, creating a beautiful shine that makes this pie a centerpiece-worthy dish. It is elegant enough for holiday tables yet simple enough for a weekend treat. Serve chilled to allow the flavors to meld and the glaze to set perfectly. This vegetarian dessert is a delightful way to showcase fresh strawberries, offering a balance of tartness and sweetness in every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven according to pie shell package directions and bake until golden and crisp. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Hull strawberries and slice most of them; reserve a small portion for garnish if desired.
  3. Mash about 1 cup of the sliced strawberries using a fork or potato masher.
  4. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch until well combined and free of lumps.
  5. Gradually whisk in the water and the mashed strawberries until smooth.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
  7. Boil and stir for exactly 1 minute to activate the cornstarch fully.
  8. Remove from heat and let the glaze cool to room temperature.
  9. Beat the softened cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread the cream cheese evenly over the bottom of the cooled pie shell.
  11. Arrange the remaining sliced strawberries in a single layer over the cream cheese.
  12. Pour the cooled strawberry glaze evenly over the berries.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the glaze is set and firm.
