Best Ever Fresh Strawberry Pie image

Next time you get a pint or two of perfectly ripe strawberries, make my favorite pie. It combines fresh berries and a lemony cream cheese layer. If you're in a hurry, use a pre-made pie shell. -Janet Leach, Granger, Washington

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The pie was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The pie was delicious, but the crust was a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe for the crust next time.
