5 tablespoons margarine, melted
2 pints fresh strawberries
8 ounces cream cheese
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon creme de menthe
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Combine crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Press firmly on bottom
and up side of a 9 inch pie plate. Refrigerate until firm.
Reserving 3 strawberries for garnish, cut off stem ends of remaining
berries so they are no more than 1 inch tall. Arrange, cut ends
down, on crust, refrigerate. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add
sweetened condensed milk; beat well. Add lime juice and liquer;
blend well. Pour into prepared crust, covering strawberries.
Refrigerate at least one hour.
Whip cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and vanilla
and whip until stiff and glossy. Using a pastry bag with a decorating
tip, pipe a lattice design on top of the pie. Garnish with the
reserved strawberries and lime slice.
