Strawberry White Chocolate Pie

Crust:
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 Tablespoons butter, melted
dash of salt

Filling:
12 oz cream cheese, softened (1-1/2 packages)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1-1/2 Tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 cups cool whip
dash of salt

Topping:
1 pound sliced strawberries
3 Tablespoons white chocolate chips

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and salt.  Pour the crumbs into a pie dish.
  2. Press the crust firmly into the pan along the bottom and sides.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup white chocolate chips into a small bowl.  Microwave the chips for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval until melted.  Set the bowl aside and allow the chocolate to cool slightly.
  4. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
  5. Add cool whip, orange juice and melted white chocolate.  Add a dash of salt and mix well, until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  6. Carefully spoon filling over the crust.
  7. Lay the sliced strawberries on top of the filling.  Start along the outside edge and work your way toward the middle.
  8. Melt the rest of the white chocolate chips.  Drizzle the chocolate over the berries.
  9. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
