Everything's better with pie!


Delicious Looking, I know!
Yesterday was just one of those I hate the world sort of days. So I decided to make Pie. On my mission I met a little boy who said "everything's better with pie!" and I agree :) Also, strawberries were a dollar a pound at Buy Low.
Easy, delicious mmmmmmm. Is your mouth watering yet?

Below I detailed how to make a delicious chocolate covered fresh strawberry pie.

1: Have a baked pie shell-- even a gram cracker crust would work.
2: Take 3/4 c of the strawberries and puree them.
3: Mix puree with 1 brick of softened cream cheese and 3+ Tbsp of Sugar
(3.5: Here's what I'd do different next time: Melt a bag of chocolate chips over a double boiler, spread half of the melted chocolate on the bottom of the pie crust)
4:Spread the cream cheese mixture in the bottom of the pie crust.
4: Hull and dry the strawberries. Now, this is different from the picture above, I dipped the strawberries individually in melted chocolate chips then placed them on top of the cream cheese mix.
5: Sprinkle the strawberries (which are likely still wet) with crushed almonds.
6: Refrigerate till the chocolate sets up.
7: ENJOY the deliciousness!

Maybe part of the other reason that this is fantastic is because it can't be THAT bad for you... the only sugar is in the cream cheese, and a little in the crust (I think?), the Cream Cheese is the 1/3 reduced fat kind, and the chocolate is semi sweet. So delicious, pretty light and amazing!

The Domestic goddess strikes again!
