Fresh strawberries are a perfect addition to any sweet treat, and they make an excellent base for a glace pie cheese. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to make a delicious and refreshing strawberry glace pie cheese that is sure to impress your friends and family.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add fresh strawberries, and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in unsalted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch pie dish and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and golden brown.
5. Once the glace pie cheese is cool, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
6. Add softened cream cheese to the bowl, and mix well until the two are fully combined.
7. Scoop the strawberry glace pie cheese into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Garnish with fresh strawberries or whipped cream before serving.
Tips:
- If you like your glace pie cheese to be a little sweeter, you can add more granulated sugar to the saucepan before cooking.
- You can also substitute other fruits for the strawberries, such as blueberries or raspberries.
- Make sure to chill the glace pie cheese well in the refrigerator to prevent it from becoming too soft and runny.
