Raspberry or Strawberry cream pie

Recipe Introduction


STRAWBERRY (Or Raspberry) CREAM PIE
Meryl's notes:
I often double this and put it into a springform pan - it seems to hold up better when doubled. I've also made this with frozen raspberries, thawed and drained, and it's just as delicious. Fresh ones would even be better.




List of Ingredients





INGREDIENTS:

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese; softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
dash nutmeg
1 cup (+ additional for garnish) strawberries; sliced
1 cup heavy whipping cream, well chilled
1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
9-inch graham cracker crust (I bake and cool before filling)



Recipe





Combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg until well blended.

Mash 1 cup strawberry slices, stir into cream cheese mixture.

Whip cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form; fold into cream cheese mixture; spoon into crust.

Chill several hours or overnight.

Before serving, garnish with sliced strawberries in an overlapping circle on pie.

Optional: Serve with whipped cream and a mint leaf on the side. (I omit this).
