Beat the cream cheese and add 1/3 cup sugar and then the egg until mixed well.
Pour the cream cheese into the baked and cooled pie shell. Bake the cream cheese filled pie at 250 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Middle should be set and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, place 2 cups of the strawberries with 2/3 cup sugar. Mash while heating over medium heat. Heat until bubbly.
Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup water.
Add to the crushed strawberry mixture, stir and lightly boil a few minutes until liquid has cleared. Allow the mixture to cool.
Wash the other 2 cups of strawberries and halve.
At this point, place the halved strawberries on top of the cooled cream cheese layer.
After that, pour the cooled crushed strawberry mixture on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
This strawberry pie is undeniably so refreshing! Enjoy!
