Description
A delightful treat that balances sweetness and creaminess with fresh strawberry flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (graham cracker or traditional)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup strawberry glaze or jelly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven and baking the pie crust according to package instructions. Once baked, let the crust cool completely.
- Make the cream cheese filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pie crust.
- Add the strawberries: Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Drizzle with glaze: Finish the pie by drizzling strawberry glaze over the strawberries.
- Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least two hours before serving.
Notes
Use ripe strawberries for best flavor and ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
