My Mom's Strawberry Pie

Strawberry Pie

1  10 inch Graham Cracker crust
12 oz cream cheese (1 1/2 packages)  - softened
1 8oz cool whip
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
12 oz carton of strawberry pie topping gel (I don't use it all)
2 quarts of strawberries - sliced

Blend softened cream cheese, cool whip and powdered sugar together until smooth (no lumps of cream cheese).  Mix in chopped pecans.  Dump and spread gently into graham cracker crust.  Form and pack an even mound of sliced strawberries over the cream cheese pie bottom.  Spread gel all over like a glaze to seal it in.  Refrigerate to firm it up before serving (best if made the night before or morning of)....and eaten by the pool in Florida  :-)

  1. Angie, can I just move in to your house? I promise I am quiet, don't need much, but your cooking sure looks like a kitchen filled with a happy woman, good food and lots of love. I even clean up after myself!!!!!
