Strawberry Pie

Ellie's Awesome Amazingly Delicious Strawberry pie
(Named by my cousin's daughter Ellie, who gave us the recipe)

Makes 2 pies
1 and 1/2 tubs cool whip
1 and 1/2 bars of cream cheese (softened)
1 and 1/2 cups confectionary sugar
6 tbs. cornstarch
6 tbs. strawberry jello powder
1 and 1/2 cups water
1 tub strawberries
2 pie shells. (I like graham cracker but my daughter likes to make her own crusts
with crushed pretzels, butter and sugar.)

Mix cream cheese and sugar together with a mixer then add cool whip.
Stir cornstarch, jello and water in a saucepan on med heat until it comes to a boil. Continue until the jello looks almost translucent.
Spread cream cheese mixture in crust. When jello has cooled down some stir in your chopped strawberries. Pour Jello on top of the cream cheese mixture. Cool in fridge, serve when cooled.
