This really is the best strawberry pie recipe from happymoneysaver. It's almost like a cheesecake and has this orange glaze that really takes it over the top!

I wasn’t quite sure what to call this pie, so I just went with the obvious. And if you are wondering…YES! It really is the best strawberry pie recipe ever!  With a shortbread (no roll) crust, a luscious creamy base and an easy to make orange glaze, it’s no wonder it’s on top of my list, and I’m sure it will be on top of yours as fast as you can take your first bite!

Start by combining flour, powdered sugar and cold butter cubes into a food processor pulse just until combined, you should feel no lumps of butter as you drag your fingers through it. It should resemble coarse cornmeal and stick together when pressed. Form into a ball and place in the fridge for 3o minutes.

Press into a 9 inch pie plate and bake for 9-10 minutes in a 425 degree oven. Let cool.

Make your filling by mixing cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla and orange zest. Spread into your cooled crust.

Slice your strawberries and layer onto the cream filling. Try not to let the cut side of the strawberries touch the crust, it will soak up the juice and make it soggy (unless you are planning on eating the whole thing within the hour — wink wink! Place the pie in the fridge while you make your glaze.

Squeeze one orange into a small saucepan to get about half a cup of fresh orange juice. Add 1 tsp. of cornstarch and 1 Tbs. powdered sugar and whisk until no lumps remain (SUPER TIP: Make sure your OJ is cold, and you should have no problem with lumps). Heat the mixture to a boil for just over 30 seconds. Let cool to room temperature and drizzle on your pie if you want it nice and gooey. If you want it super fancy, you can brush the glaze on top of your strawberry layer, and reserve the rest to drizzle while serving.

Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Slice yourself up a nice big slice and pat yourself on the back, you are officially celebrating National Strawberry Month with style, or should I say ‘taste’?
