Strawberry Cream Pie

This recipe will make two pies.

2 chocolate cookie pie crusts (or your favorite pie crust will work)
1 box strawberry Danish Dessert
4-5 cups strawberries cleaned, hulled, and sliced
1 8oz package cream cheese (fat free or light will work), softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Crust: If you're interested in making your own crust.  Here's what I did.  I took a box of chocolate wafer cookies (not oreos), 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter.  Crush the cookies to a fine powder and mix with melted butter and sugar.  Press into two pie plates.

Directions:  Clean, hull, and slice the strawberries and set aside.  Cook the Danish Dessert according to package directions.  Set aside and allow to cool.  While Danish Dessert is cooling, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth.  In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff.  Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.  Fold the strawberries into the cooled Danish Dessert.  Fill the pie shells by layering 1/4 of cream cheese mixture into the bottom of each pie shell.  Cover this with 1/4 of the strawberry filling into each pie shell.  Layer again with remaining cream cheese filling followed by remaining strawberry filling.  Chill and serve.
