Secret Chocolate Strawberry Pie

8 servings

• 3 cups sliced strawberries (divided use)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry-flavor gelatin
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup Hershey's semisweet chocolate chips
• 4 tablespoons whipping cream (divided use)
• 1 baked 9-inch pie crust, cooled
• 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• Whipped cream, optional li>

Reserve 2 cups strawberries. Mash remaining 1 cup strawberries; add enough water to make 2 cups. Stir together sugar and cornstarch in saucepan; stir in mashed berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add gelatin, butter and lemon juice; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Strain mixture; discard seeds.

Refrigerate until partially set.

Meanwhile, place chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons whipping cream in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at high an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, just until chips are melted when stirred. Spread chocolate mixture onto bottom of prepared crust; refrigerate 30 minutes, or until firm.

Beat cream cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon whipping cream until smooth; spread over chocolate layer. Refrigerate filled crust while gelatin mixture is cooling. When gelatin mixture is partially set, fold in reserved sliced strawberries; spoon mixture over cream-cheese layer.

Cover; refrigerate several hours or until firm. Just before serving, garnish with sweetened whipped cream and whole strawberries, if desired.
