This recipe came from the
~summer seasonal favorites~
section of the
Homemade pie crusts are never quite as pretty
as rolling out the store bought,
but they sure do taste better. ;-)
A little sweetened cream cheese,
lots of fresh, ripe strawberries,
fresh strawberry filling,
and a heart shaped berry on top!
*The recipe didn't call for it, but I added 1/4 cup powdered sugar to the cream cheese.
