Pink Lemonade Pie
♦ MAKES 2 PIES
- Dough for 2 single-crust deep-dish pies
FILLING
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, thawed
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 3 tbsp Sun Orchard Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place crusts in 2 ungreased pie tins. Place foil in pan and shape to crust to keep from collapsing in oven. Bake 20-25 minutes before removing foil. Bake additional 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
Place strawberries, ½ cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a food processor; let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 5 minutes. Pulse strawberry mixture on high until smooth. Microwave gelatin on high until melted, about 10 seconds. Mix into strawberry mixture.
Beat cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in cream and strawberry mixture. Transfer filling to crusts. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 2 hours. If desired, top with whipped cream and lemon slices.
