Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¾ cup water
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
• 2 tablespoons strawberry-flavored Jell-O® mix
• 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake pie crust until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove crust from oven and turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4

Beat cream cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a bowl until smoothly combined.

Step 5

Pour filling into crust.

Step 6

Bake until filling is set, about 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Step 8

Whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and strawberry gelatin in a saucepan until smooth; place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gelatin has dissolved and the glaze has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 9

Arrange the sliced strawberries atop the cheese filling.

Step 10

Pour warm glaze over sliced strawberries. Chill thoroughly in refrigerator before serving.
