Ingredients

  • 1 (9") frozen store-bought pie crust
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lb strawberries (cut in half lengthwise)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Instructions

  • Bake pie crust according to the package instructions. Let cool completely.
  • In a small bowl beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes. 
  • In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together with a mixer until combined. 
  • Add the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix and blend together until combined. Evenly spread into the bottom of the pie crust. 
  • Top with the halved strawberries and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours. 
  • Right before serving make the chocolate glaze. In a microwave-safe bowl add the chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries and serve.
    Chocolate will harden up fairly quickly so you won't have a melted chocolate mess. 

Notes

I put the melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag and then snip the corner and drizzle it that way. You can also just use a fork, spoon, or a drizzle spoon (Wilton makes this). 
 
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Place unwrapped cream cheese on a plate and microwave for 30-35 seconds. 
 
Leftovers will keep for about 1-2 days. The strawberries tend to color the cream layer red after awhile in the fridge. This pie is best served the day you make it. After the few hours of refrigeration time of course. If you want to make it the day before, DO NOT top the cream layer with the strawberries. Just do everything up to the cream layer inside the pie crust and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning top with the strawberries and refrigerate for a few hours and then drizzle the chocolate right before serving.
