Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust

For the cream cheese filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

For the strawberry topping:

  • 5 cups fresh strawberries, tops removed and quartered (divided)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  2. Assemble the Pie: Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the strawberry topping.
  3. Make the Strawberry Topping: In a saucepan, combine half of the quartered strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and the strawberries soften. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Finish the Pie: Arrange the remaining quartered strawberries over the chilled cream cheese layer in the pie crust. Pour the cooked strawberry mixture over the top, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to set.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the chilled pie and serve with additional whipped cream or fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

  • This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • For a variation, try using other fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries for the topping.
  • If desired, you can brush the top of the strawberries with a light glaze made from strawberry jam for extra shine.
