Creamy White Chocolate-Strawberry Pie

 Our Easter pie last week.  It was delicious and super easy to make.



Baked pie crust  (see my favorite recipe here)

Filling:
3/4 C white chocolate chips
8 oz Neufchatel cream cheese, softened
5 Tbsp sugar
1/3 C plain or vanilla yogurt
1 qt fresh strawberries

Garnish:
1/2 C white chocolate chips

Put 3/4 C white chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over water (for tips on double boilers, go here).  When the chips start to shine, start stirring until smooth.  Remove from heat and set aside to cool until needed.

Beat cream cheese until fluffy (about 4 minutes).  Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat.  Add the cooled white chocolate and beat till smooth.  Add the yogurt and beat till smooth.  Spoon into pie shell.  Cover with foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Clean and hull berries.  Arrange on a layer over the pie, cut sides facing down.

For garnish, melt remaining white chocolate chips.  Let cool for a moment and then spoon into a parchment paper bag, cutting so it has a very fine tip (or spoon into a plastic sandwich bag, push the chocolate into a corner, and snip a very small hole in the corner).  Drizzle over pie.
