Description

Treat yourself to a slice of Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie—a luscious dessert that combines sweet strawberries with creamy richness for pure bliss. This delightful pie features a buttery crust filled with a silky smooth cream cheese mixture, topped generously with fresh strawberries. Each bite offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that will leave you wanting more.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter and mix until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined and free of lumps.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Once the crust has cooled, spoon the cream cheese mixture into the crust, spreading evenly. Make sure to smooth out the top so it looks nice.
  4. Top with Strawberries: Arrange the sliced fresh strawberries on top of the cream cheese filling. You can be creative with your arrangement, placing them in a pattern or a simple circular design.
  5. Chill the Pie: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest filling.
  • Use Fresh Strawberries: Always choose the ripest strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill Thoroughly: Don’t skip the chilling step—the longer it sits, the better the flavors will meld.
  • Check for Sweetness: Taste the filling before spreading it to ensure it’s sweet enough for your palate.
  • Store Properly: Ensure that your pie is covered tightly with plastic wrap to maintain freshness while chilling.
