Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie Recipe

Is there anything better than a dessert made with fresh strawberries?  Maybe a dessert with melted chocolate….or a s’mores dessert…..  Well, let’s just say that very FEW things can compare with a strawberry dessert during the spring. I think we can agree on that.  I love strawberries.  They have always been one of my favorite foods.  That is why today I am sharing with you this fresh and simple strawberry cream cheese pie.

This pie is adapted from one in the wonderful cookbook More From Magnolia, which I really recommend.  The filling recipe is slightly adapted from the recipe in the cookbook, but the graham cracker crust recipe is my own, adapted from several different recipes that I have used over the years to make graham cracker crusts for a number of pies and cheesecakes.

So, without further ado, I bring you the spring deliciousness that is this strawberry cream cheese pie.  Enjoy.
