I have been wanting to make a strawberry pie for some time now. I looked through tons of recipes and some seemed too long and involved, some I did not have all the ingredients and others just didn't sound good. So I took a little bit of what I had with some ideas from recipe browsing and the Black-bottom Strawberry Cheesecake pie was born!!
Black-bottom Strawberry Cheesecake Pie
Ingredients
for crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
pie filling
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
1/2 pint of strawberries
2/3 cup powdered sugar
Topping
1 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips
8 strawberries
Crust ingredients
Melt your butter like so.
And bash up those graham crackers. (its takes almost 2 sleeves of graham crackers to make 2 cups)
Add 1/3 cup powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs and butter into mini chop. You can do it by hand in a bowl I find that it comes together better this way.
press into pie place.
Bake at 400 for 10 minutes.
Put 1/2 cup of hot fudge in your baked pie crust.
Wash and cut the top off of half a pint of strawberries.
After washing your mini chop, add your strawberries.
and get them all nice and mushy!!!
Add the cream cheese and blend. Add the rest of the powdered sugar, 1/3 at a time until desired sweetness is achieved. Mine took 2/3 of a cup.
Pour it into the pie crust.
Wash other 1/2 of the strawberries and melt the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Dip dried strawberries into the melted chocolate.
Place on wax paper and chill.
Gather whipped cream ingredients.
Add 1 cup whipping cream, dash of vanilla and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, Start mixing slowly.
Final product!! Easy homemade whipped creme.
Now assemble your slices.
Cut a slice out!!
Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate covered strawberries.
Now take a bite and eat!! Enjoy!!! We did!!!!
