  1. This was a good pie; however, i found it tasted more like a cheesecake than a pie. I thought the crust would get "wet" from the strawberries but the choclate formed a nice shield from the filling & topping. next time i think i'd add a touch of almond extract to the filling to give it an extra punch of flavour.
     
  2. This was so yummy! We love fresh strawberry pie and this is an awesome variation. I substituted non-fat plain yogurt for the sourcream and added a 2 extra tbs sugar to the cream cheese mixture. It lowered the fat considerably without sacrificing any flavor. I love the chocolate layer over the crust, it's like a little chocolate surprise amidst all the strawberries! :D I cut the hulled strawberries in half (they were a little beat up) and piled them in the shell then tried to the brush on the jam. I think next time I'll mix the berries with the melted jam before putting them in the shell. I used Marie's Easy As Pie No Roll Piecrust Recipe #93312 for the shell. Delicious! Thanks for posting!
