Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Topping

  • Additional strawberries for topping, sliced


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream together with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is properly aerated and will hold shape.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Stir carefully to maintain the airy texture and create a light filling.
  4. Add Strawberries: Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries gently to distribute them evenly without crushing.
  5. Fill the Crust: Spoon the prepared filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set firmly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, decorate the top of the pie with additional sliced strawberries for a fresh and appealing presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust to add a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them thoroughly to avoid excess moisture that could affect the filling’s consistency.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness and taste.
