This is the BEST pie ever. And right now it’s all I can think about. So I am making two, one for Easter and one for me! That’s right back off Kenny It is a melt in your mouth pie crust that taste like shortbread, and a whipped cream cheese filling topped with lots of fresh strawberries. MmmMmmm!

Filling:

• 1- 8oz package of cream cheese softened
• 1 small container of cool whip
• 6 tbsp powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of vanilla
• About 4 cups of fresh strawberries cut lengthwise (or any fruit of your choice, pineapple is yummy too)

For Crust:

• 1/2 cup of clog up your guts and arteries Crisco (ha-ha)
• 2 cups of flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
•  2-4 tbsp of cold water

You will also need a pastry blender/cutter and wax paper for this crust!

Step one: In a large bowl Crisco into 2 cups of flour, DO NOT MIX! Cut the Crisco in until fine and crumbly.

Next add one tbsp of cold water to the mixture at a time. You want to mix the mixture and water with your hands making into a ball of dough using up to 4 tbsp of water to hold together.

Let sit refrigerated about 10 mins, cut ball of dough in half. (dough is enough to make two pie crust or one pie with with a top)

Step two: On a flat surface lay a piece of wax paper down, sprinkle with flour. Place ball of dough in the center, sprinkle another piece of wax paper with flour, lay on top of dough (so that the ball of dough is sandwiched between two pieces of wax paper). Using a rolling pin starting from the center and rolling outward, roll out dough into a circle that is slightly larger than the pie plate.

Next peel off top layer of wax paper, flip dough into greased pie plate and peel off other side of wax paper. (see below). Finally poke crust with fork all over and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Let cool completely.

Step Three: Meanwhile combine softened cream cheese, cool whip, and powdered sugar in bowl until mixed together and creamy. Add vanilla and stir. Add filling to pie crust and top with strawberries.
