The weather is finally warming up here in Iowa and I’ve got fresh fruit and desserts on my mind. ? Well, then again, I usually have those on my mind. With spring in full swing and the summer months to follow, I thought this would be a good time to share this delicious Strawberry Cream Cheese Slab Pie.
Slab pie you ask? Just a pie baked in a jelly roll pan. Simple enough yet large enough and delicious enough to serve a crowd! This one is easy to make…although there is some waiting between the layers. First you bake the crust and allow to cool, then you smooth on the cream cheese layer and allow to set in fridge and then top with the fresh strawberry mix. Mmm, my mouth is watering! This is great for a gathering or upcoming potluck. Enjoy!

Do you buy the strawberry glaze or do you have a recipe for it?? Also you put the 2 pie crusts on top of each other in the pan?? 2 thicknesses??
Thanks!
Hi Denise, I just buy the strawberry glaze at the grocery store. Im sure there is a recipe out there for one but I like to keep it as simple as possible.
It is two pie crusts foe the recipe, however you roll them out to fit your baking sheet so it does not end up double thickness. Hope this helps!
