Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Pie, a delicious crumb crust and a creamy cream cheese and fresh strawberry filling.  The perfect dessert.

This last week we have been having a few dinner dates, my eldest daughter is back home for a short holiday and we are enjoying every minute of it.

Enjoying every minute of it when you live in Italy naturally means food is a big part.  I have been making more desserts then ever.

The other evening we had friends over for dinner and I served, at my daughter’s request,  White Sauce Lasagna, My Mom’s Meatloaf a couple of desserts that I have not posted yet but were a big hit and this Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Pie.

I love Cheesecake baked and No Bake.   This Cheesecake is Baked.  I made a simple crumb and butter base and the cream cheese filling I added pureed strawberries.  It worked perfectly.

Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Pie

Like most desserts that need to be refrigerated, leaving them in the fridge over night always works best.

Then just before serving drizzle with melted chocolate and top with a chocolate dipped strawberry or two.

I like to think of this Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Pie like a lighter almost Mousse type Dessert.  Enjoy!
