Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 pounds fresh strawberries
• 0.25 cups strawberry jelly or jam
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and mix it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully drape the dough over the dish and press it into the edges. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork.

Step 5

Bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and allow it to cool completely.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled pie crust.

Step 7

Rinse and dry the fresh strawberries. Slice them in half if they are large, and arrange them decoratively over the cream cheese filling.

Step 8

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the strawberry jelly or jam with one tablespoon of water. Stir until the jelly has melted and formed a glaze.

Step 9

Using a pastry brush, gently brush the strawberry glaze over the arranged strawberries until they are evenly coated and glossy.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to set. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
