Summer strawberry slab pie: Store-bought crust layered with lemony cream cheese and fresh strawberries. Easy, refreshing, and perfect for any summer day.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 6 cups sliced fresh strawberries (about 2 lb)
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
  • Sweetened whipped cream, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Unwrap pie crusts and place one on top of the other on a floured surface. Roll into a 17x12-inch rectangle. Transfer crust to a 15x10x1-inch pan, gently pressing into corners and sides. Fold excess crust under, aligning with the pan edges. Use a fork to poke holes all over the bottom and sides of the crust.
  • Bake until golden brown and fully cooked, for 9 to 12 minutes. Then cool on a rack for about 15 minutes before serving.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. In a small bowl, mash 1 1/2 cups of sliced strawberries to make 1 cup of finely mashed strawberries, then add to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Let it boil and stir for one minute. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Finally, stir in the remaining sliced strawberries.
  • Blend cream cheese and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth. Spread this creamy mixture onto the cooled baked crust, then evenly spoon the strawberry mixture over the top.
  • Chill until firm, approximately 3 hours. Just before serving, top each piece with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate any leftover pie slices.
