Strawberries & Cream Pie

So for my birthday, I asked that my Nana make her special Strawberry Cheesecake Pie. It was delicious, but full of not-so-good-for-you stuff, so while this recipe still includes those things, the ingredients were a bit altered for my mom's recent birthday (not too much, though). Unfortunately those slight alterations somehow resulted in this pie not having the same consistency as cheesecake, but it did still have a yummy taste. While I will still need to do some tweaking to this recipe in the future (both healthy nutrition/consistency-wise), it does make for a pretty tasty treat as is. Enjoy!
