• Simple to Prepare: No baking required!
• Fresh Ingredients: Uses seasonal strawberries for maximum flavor.
• Decadent Creaminess: Cream cheese and whipped cream create a rich filling.
• Stunning Presentation: Perfect for impressing guests or family.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Extra strawberries for garnish, optional

How to Make Strawberry Cream Pie

1. Start by preparing the crust. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
3. While the crust is chilling, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
6. Once the crust has set, spread the cream cheese filling evenly into the chilled graham cracker crust.
7. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the filling, covering it completely. If desired, you can reserve some strawberries for garnish later.
8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing it to set properly.
9. When ready to serve, garnish with additional strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending.
• For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider macerating the sliced strawberries with a bit of sugar for 15-20 minutes before adding them to the pie.
• Use a high-quality heavy cream for the best whipping results.

Easy Variations

• Swap out strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a mixed berry pie.
• Add a layer of lemon curd under the strawberries for a zesty twist.
• Incorporate a splash of almond extract in place of vanilla for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. The pie is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be kept chilled for a short period. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the filling may change.
