  1. This was so easy to make. I did however tweak it a bit. I used 8 oz cream cheese, cause I like it ;) and added 1/3 cup of powdered sugar to sweetened it, cause that's the way I like it. The glaze was wonderful. I won't buy store glaze anymore. The red food coloring is a MUST... when the strawberries cook down in the glaze, you really need to put the color back. Great Recipe, cured my craving for something sweet, but not too sweet. Thanks for sharing! (Made for Bevy Tag 8/08)
     
  2. Ummm...YUM! This pie was so delicious! I made my own crust using mix of chocolate graham crackers with regular. Used a little extra reduced fat cream cheese and some berries that needed to be used up. Loved it and will make again with next strawberry season! I do think it took me longer than the stated time to make. Thanks for posting! Edited to add: Leftovers not so great. My crust got soggy b/c the pie became a little watery.
     
  3. excellent! came together well, very easy to make. made my own crust, and the cream cheese was very soft, so I didnt add the milk. The strawberries I had were a little tart, so I sprinkled the fresh ones with a little sugar. For the Aussies, a quart of strawberries is about 2 punnets :) would recommend this recipe! 2009 Aug Aussie swap
     
  4. Very good and easy pie recipe. I made this to take to my in-laws. My FIL says that he doesn't like cream cheese so I substituted the tsp of milk in the cream cheese with a dollop of whipped cream and added a Tbsp of sugar. The pie turned out great. My in-laws enjoyed it and my FIL never even noticed the cream cheese. LOL Thanks for sharing a great summer pie recipe. Made for July, 2008 Bevy Tag.
     
  5. I liked the flavors of this pie but feel that the cream cheese mixture needs some sweetening. I will make this again and double the cream cheese mixture and transfer some of the sugar from the strawberry glaze into the cream cheese mixture. I liked the graham flavor with the strawberries.
