What You'll Need

For the Pie

• 1 store-bought graham cracker crust (or pre-made pie crust)
• 1 box cheesecake pudding mix (3.4 oz)
• 1½ cups cold milk
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

For the Strawberry Topping

• 2 pints fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and halved 
• 3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey or real maple syrup)
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Preparation

First the Strawberry Topping

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Gently mix strawberries with sugar until coated. 
3. Stir in melted butter until well mixed.
4. Pour onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Spread in an even layer.
5. Roast for 10-12 minutes until cooked but not mushy.
6. Allow to cool/solidify.  If not serving right away, keep in fridge.  If your mixture is quite runny, you can strain off some liquid to use for tea or toast.

Then the Pie

1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add cold milk while beating.
2. Sprinkle in pudding mix. Beat for 2 minutes until thick and creamy.
3. Pour into your crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

    

Add strawberry topping to whipped base when ready to serve.  Pairs nicely with strawberry flavored teas or earl grey tea.
