Ingredients
21oz.can strawberry pie fillingI prefer Wilderness brand pie filling
8oz.cream cheesesoftened
1egg yolk
2Tbs.granulated sugar
1tsp.vanilla extract
1roll refrigerated ready-to-bake pie crustI prefer Pillsbury brand
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together; add the egg yolk and vanilla, beating until well incorporated and the filling is smooth.
Place a sheet of parchment paper onto your work surface. Remove the roll of pie crust dough from the packaging and unroll it onto the parchment paper.
If the pie crust dough isn't already about 11-12 inches in circumference, use your favorite rolling pin to roll it out to that size. Don't worry if it's not perfectly round in shape!
Now, grab one side of the parchment paper and slide the pie crust onto a large, rimmed baking sheet (13x18 inches in size).
Spread the prepared cream cheese filling over the pie crust, leaving a one-inch border all the way around the edge.
Spoon the strawberry pie filling evenly over the top of the cream cheese filling. Now, gently fold the pie dough border up and over the filling, forming the edge. (The center of the dessert will be open to show the pretty strawberry pie filling.)
Bake the dessert, uncovered, on the center oven rack for 35-40 minutes or until the crust on the top and bottom is nicely golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack and cool completely so the cheesecake filling can set.
Serve the dessert sliced into wedges (like you'd slice and serve a pie), topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
