"Out of all the pies Mom made, she was most famous for this one. A beautiful pie made with fresh strawberries and a cream filling. Be sure to use my mom's pie crust recipe, or if you're a beginner, my sister Lauren's, both under my recipes. Pie crust and strawberries must cool to room temperature before assembling pie, plus the pie itself needs to chill, so make the pie several hours ahead or the day before."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Strawberries: Wash and halve strawberries. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Add water a little at a time, whisking to ensure no lumps.
Step 2
Add lemon juice and red food coloring, cooking over medium heat until mixture clears and starts to thicken, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Add half of strawberries and continue to cook until mixture thickens, only a minute or two. Remove from heat and add remaining strawberries. Pour into a bowl to cool at room temperature. Cool completely before topping pie.
Step 4
Filling: When pie crust has cooled completely, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Step 5
In separate mixer bowl, cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Fold the whipped cream in until completely incorporated. (I do this very carefully with lowest setting on kitchenaid mixer.) Spread in pie shell, being careful not to overfill. Leave room for the strawberries so they won't spill over crust.
Step 6
Once strawberries have cooled, spread them over cream mixture. Chill pie.
