Cheesecake Layer
To make filling, in a large bowl using an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar until light and fluffy.
In a medium bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture just until combined, then spread into prepared pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Strawberry Layer
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, dry strawberry gelatin and cornstarch. Bring to boil over medium heat and let bubble for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Place cleaned, sliced strawberries into a bowl, and pour strawberry glaze mixture over strawberries.Toss to coat strawberries in glaze. Let this mixture sit in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to thicken up a bit. Using a slotted spoon, layer strawberries mixture over the cheesecake layer, then drizzle the remaining sauce over the strawberries to the edges of the pie plate.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours prior to serving.
* Spray the pan really well, or the pretzel crumble will stick. Also, a glass dish works nicely because you can see the beautiful layers, but any pie dish will do!
*This will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge. Or you may freeze it for up to 6 months.
