To make crust:
In mixing bowl, combine flour, sugars, vanilla and cream cheese cubes.
Use 2 forks to combine mixture until it is crumbly, resembling peas.
You may need to add extra flour to get this consistency. Roll mixture
into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed.
To make filling: Combine condensed milk, eggs, lime juice and drained
strawberries in a bowl. Blend with electric hand mixer until smooth.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove dough ball from plastic wrap.
Roll out dough on a floured surface. Place in 9-inch deep-dish or
10-inch pie pan and trim edges to fit. Pour filling into shell and
bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the middle of the pie is solid and
the top is bubbling and light brown. Serve either hot or cold. Serve
the whipped cream on the side.
