1 (8oz.) pkg cream cheese
1 c heavy whipping cream
1/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-1 1/2 Tbsp milk

3 Tbsp cornstarch
pinch of salt
1 (3oz.) box strawberry gelatin
CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:
1 Tbsp shortening
1/2 c milk chocolate chips

6. Melt 1 Tbsp. shortening and ½ cup chocolate chips in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Drizzle over strawberries. Refrigerate until set; and keep leftovers in the fridge. (If you have any!)

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
Make sure the strawberries are hulled and sliced before using them in the pie.
To make the cream filling, use heavy cream that has been whipped until stiff peaks form. This will help the filling hold its shape.
If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a store-bought pie crust. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
To prevent the pie from getting soggy, brush the bottom of the pie crust with melted chocolate or white chocolate. This will create a barrier between the crust and the filling.
Let the pie chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Strawberry cream pie is a classic summer dessert that is both delicious and easy to make. With a flaky pie crust, a creamy filling, and fresh strawberries, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
