Cook the frozen pie crust according to the package directions. Let cool completely before proceeding.

In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, or use the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream cheese, and beat until combined.

Using a rubber spatula, add the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and gently fold everything together until combined.

Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture into the cooled pie crust and smooth out the top.

Arrange the strawberries, cut side down, over the top.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours so the pie can thicken and set.

Right before serving make the chocolate drizzle. Combine the milk chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring it every 30 seconds, until silky and smooth and completely melted.

Drizzle the chocolate glaze over top the strawberries. You can use a fork to do this or put the chocolate glaze into a Ziploc bag, with the bottom corner slightly snipped, and glaze the pie. For perfect glaze lines use a piping bag with a small tip. *If you want the chocolate glaze hardened for serving then place the pie back in the fridge for just a few minutes or serve the pie with the melted chocolate glaze over top. I prefer it refrigerated and hardened, so I refrigerate the pie for about 10 minutes before serving.
