Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9" Pie Crust
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 pounds strawberries (half for filling, half for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by pressing the pie dough into a tart shell, dock with a fork, chill for at least 30 minutes, and bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
- Make the filling by processing softened cream cheese with lemon juice, zest, and sugar until smooth. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

- Chill in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours before serving to let flavors meld.
