Here is how you make B's Strawberry Pie:

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes; cool on a wire rack.In a small saucepan melt chocolate and 1 T butter on low heat until evenly melted and mixed. Spread evenly on the bottom of the pie shell and set aside to cool.In a small bowl mix cream cheese with vanilla and orange zest; add orange juice until it is a spreadable consistency. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the chocolate layer already in the pie shell and set aside.To prepare the filling mash 2 cups of strawberries (overripe are perfect for this part) and combine with 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook five minutes stirring occasionally. Pour mashed strawberry mixture through a sieve into a bowl to reserve 1 cup of liquid. Discard pulp & add water to juice if necessary. Return juice to the pan and add sugar & cornstarch, whisk well and bring to a boil. Cook one minute stirring constantly. Reduce heat and cook two minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries in the prepared crust. Spoon a third of the sauce over the strawberries. Arrange remaining strawberries on top, then spoon on remaining glaze. Chill for at least three hours and serve with whipped cream.
