Strawberry Cream

Serve with or without the pie crust!

3 cups sliced fresh strawberries

1/4 cup sugar

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/4–1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 premade pie crust, optional

Mix the strawberries with the sugar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Pour the strawberries into a colander to drain. Blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth; stir in the strawberries. Pour into a pie crust, if desired, and chill, or serve as is.
