4 cups fresh strawberries
1 frozen pie crust, baked according to package directions
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup lemon-lime soda
1/2 cup water
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry-flavored gelatin
whipped cream, for serving

Wash, dry, and remove stems from strawberries. Arrange strawberries, tip-side up, in the
prepared pie crust. Cut larger strawberries in half if needed to fit evenly. Strawberries should be
piled high inside the crust.
In a saucepan, whisk together corn starch and sugar. Add lemon-lime soda and water, and whisk
to combine.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture has
thickened slightly.
Remove from heat and whisk in the strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved.
Let the mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes, then carefully pour over the strawberries in the pie
crust, covering evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set.
Slice and serve chilled. Top with whipped cream.

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon zest
Vanilla Bean Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-3 Tbsp heavy cream (or half and half and milk)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract if you don't have the paste)
powdered sugar for dusting (optional but recommended)

Grease an 8×8" baking dish, fill with sliced croissants and mixed berries. Set aside.
Add cream cheese to mixing bowl and beat with hand mixer until smooth. Add milk, sugar, eggs,
vanilla and lemon zest and beat until combined.
Pour mixture over croissants and berries.
Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
Remove baking dish from refrigerator and let sit on the counter. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
Bake, covered with aluminum foil, for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 15
minutes, until golden and when a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
While casserole is baking, add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla bean paste to a small
mixing bowl and whisk to combine until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle glaze over casserole after it's finished baking. Serve warm and dust with powdered sugar
if desired.
Notes
You can bake this dish the same day you make it, if needed. Just be sure to let the croissant puff
sit for 30 minutes or so before baking so the croissants can soak up some of the liquid.
