Strawberry Season!

It's strawberry season!!  What are your favorite strawberry recipes?
This year, I tried something a little different.  We had a dessert recipe exchange at work, and I made a 3 layer pie.  First is a brownie layer, second a cheese cake layer, third a layer of strawberries :)


We all decided that there was too much brownie and not enough cheese cake, so I tweaked the recipe a little to account for that.

Recipe:
Brownie layer -
boxed brownie mix and the ingredients listed on that box

Cheese cake layer -
16 oz regular cream cheese
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Strawberry layer -
enough strawberries to cover the top of pie
hot fudge topping

1 refrigerated pie crust(or you can make your own)

1.  Heat oven to 325.
2.  Roll out the pic crust in a greased 9 inch pie plate
3.  Make brownie mix as directed on the box
4.  Pour about 1/3 of the brownie mix on top of the pie crust and bake for about 25 minutes.
5.  Meanwhile, prepare cheese cake layer.  Blend all cheese cake ingredients until smooth.
6.  Pour cheese cake mix on top of brownie mix.  Bake for another 20 minutes.
7.  Let cool completely in the fridge.
8.  Cut the strawberries in half and put them on top of the cooled pie.  Garnish with the hot fudge topping.

                                  

HINT:  I noticed that after a day or two in the fridge the strawberries got a little soggy.

Enjoy!
