Strawberry Lemon Cream Pie

I'm almost embarrassed to share this "recipe".  Normally when I make a strawberry pie I use a traditional pastry crust and follow this recipe.  Yesterday, because I was making a few other things for lunch, I decided to cheat a little bit. 

I made a graham cracker crust, cut up some fresh strawberries, and then made a cream cheese mixture.  I placed the fresh strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture, and then refrigerated the whole pie until I was ready to serve it. 

A perfect summer-time dessert - easy, fresh-tasting and creamy!
