I tried this recipe and found it to be the best Strawberry Pie I have ever tasted. My mother in-law gave me her recipe and it was very good too.. but after I baked this one...No comparison. I used Real Whipping Cream and spread it over the strawberries after the pie was cooled...Yummmmm!!!

I left out the cream cheese because I didn't have any and substituted Splenda for the sugar, but it still produced an incredible, fresh tasting pie. Soooo easy - made it in just a few minutes.

I love this recipe! The ingredients were so simple and it turned out amazing! The most difficult part about the recipe was the berry mixture. I mashed the strawberries with a fork and it took maybe 7-10 minutes for the strawberry mixture to get thick, but when it did, it was definitely not runny at all. LOVE IT. I'm gonna make this recipe again but instead turn it into small tarts with blueberries!
