Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Topping:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Make the crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set. - Prepare the filling:
Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract and lemon juice until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. - Assemble the pie:
Pour the cream cheese filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. - Make the strawberry topping:
Combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Let them sit for 20 minutes to draw out their juices. Once the pie has set, top with the macerated strawberries. - Serve and enjoy:
Slice and serve chilled for a delicious, creamy treat!
Notes
- Be sure to let the pie chill for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set properly. Overnight chilling is best.
- You can make this pie ahead of time—just keep it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- If fresh strawberries aren't available, you can substitute with other berries or frozen strawberries (thawed and drained).
