3
tablespoons
sugar 1/2
cup
semisweet chocolate chips 8
oz
cream cheese,

1/4
cup
firmly packed brown sugar 1/2
teaspoon

1
pint
fresh strawberries 2
tablespoons
semisweet chocolate chips 1
teaspoon

Directions:
1.
Combine first 3 ingredients, mixing well; firmly press onto bottom and sides of a lightly greased 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool completely. (Bake at 325 F if using a glass pie plate.)
2.
Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips; set aside to cool slightly.
3.
Beat softened cream cheese at low speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add brown sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Add cooled chocolate, stirring well. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture; spoon into prepared crust. Chill at least 8 hours.
4.
Set aside 1 strawberry; cut remaining strawberries into thick slices. Arrange slices over filling; place whole strawberry in center.
5.
Melt remaining 2 T chocolate chips and shortening together. Drizzle over strawberries. Chill until set.
Although you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust,
I highly recommend following the recipe as is. The crust is much
more flavorful!
