White Chocolate Strawberry Pie Recipe

                            Back

Ingredients:
5 squares (1oz each) white baking chocolate, divided
2 tablespoons milk
1 (3oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 graham cracker crust
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries


     


Preparation:
In a microwave or double boiler, melt four squares of chocolate with milk.  Cool to room temperature.  Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth.  Beat in orange peel and melted chocolate.  Fold in whipped cream.  Spread into crust.  Arrange strawberries on top.  Melt remaining chocolate; drizzle over berries.  Refrigerate for at least one hour.  Store in the refrigerator.


Note:
I got this recipe from a cooking magazine I take.  I first made it when I had my foot surgery and was using crutches and a wheelchair in the kitchen.  I don’t recommend cooking that way at all!  The one thing I would change in this recipe is the white chocolate that they want you to drizzle on the top of the pie.  I found that it just got very hard and made the pie difficult to cut and eat.  If I were you, I’d sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the strawberries to look pretty.  It’s a delicious pie and not hard to make.  I buy my white chocolate at Save-A-Lot grocery store where it is very inexpensive and works just as well as the more expensive white chocolate.
