Strawberry Black Bottom Pie


After a day of strawberry picking we realized we had WAY more strawberries than we knew what to do with.  This is one of the delicious creations that came from our strawberry picking extravaganza!
NOTE:  This in NOT entirely gluten free!  It is WHEAT FREE, but the cookies have barley in them.  In the comments section you can find the ingredients.


Crust
Newman's Own Organics Wheat Free Newman O's (about 20)
4 Tbs melted butter

Crush the cookies in a plastic bag using a mallet or rolling pin.  Combine the melted butter and and crushed cookies into a pie pan and let cool (about 30 minutes).

Filling*
5oz Cream cheese (room temperature)
3 Tbs Sour Cream
1.5 Tbs Brown Sugar
1 Tbs powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
Chopped up fresh strawberries (or any berries that are in season)
 *These ingredients DO NOT need to be exact, change the recipe to suit your tastes! 


Combine cream cheese and sour cream into a large bowl and mix well.  Add brown sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, and berries.  Mix well.


Topping
Fresh strawberries cut in half (mixed berries would be yummy too!  Just use what's in season)

Chill for a few hours before serving
