Red, White, and Blueberry Pie

This is the pie I make every year for the 4th of July.  I love the colors and the fresh fruit!

 

Red, White, and Blueberry Pie

4 oz. white chocolate

8 large strawberries, cut in half length-wise

1 deep dish pie crust

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

3/4 c. powdered sugar

1 small package white chocolate instant pudding

3/4 c. milk

1 c. fresh blueberries

Bake the pie crust at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes until the crust is baked and beginning to turn golden brown. Allow to cool. Melt white chocolate. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate then place cut-side down on waxed paper and refrigerate until chocolate is set. Spread the remaining white chocolate on the bottom of the pie crust. Set aside. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the milk, beating constantly until smooth. Add pudding and beat until it begins to thicken. Spread the mixture in the pie crust and smooth to the edges. Place the strawberries around the edges, stems out. Pour blueberries in the center of the pie. Press fruit lightly into the filling. Refrigerate until serving.
