Sunday Dinner
List of Ingredients
2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
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 (optional)
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Recipe
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 optional liqueur; blend well.
Pour into prepared crust, covering strawberries.
Refrigerate overnight (it will taste great). 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.
Makes: 6 Servings
