I knew I had to make my mom's favorite - strawberry glace pie. It's very simple if you can make a pie crust (I can't), but even in a bad pie crust, this is a dessert you can't get wrong. Especially if the strawberries are perfect.
Strawberry Glace Pie
from my mother
6 cups strawberries, washed, dried and hulled
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (9-inch) baked pie shell
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Spread into baked pie shell.
Mash enough strawberries to make 1 cup, and set aside.
Fill the pie shell with the remaining whole strawberries, points up.
In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, water, and the reserved mashed strawberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Cook for 1 minute. Cool slightly.
Pour the cooked strawberry mixture on top of the strawberries in the pie shell. Refrigerate for 3 hours, or until set.

Where's the whipped cream?
Doesn't need it, but truth be told I didn't take a moment to make it.
