Amazing Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

I love strawberries, and this Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie is perfect for your holiday celebrations, birthday parties, neighborhood soirees, and potlucks. This delectable beauty brings cream cheese and whipped cream together perfectly in a fresh graham cracker crust topped with glazed fresh strawberries.

Strawberry Cheesecake Pie is a cinch to make. Are you super pinched for time? You can make the crust ahead of time and freeze it right in the pan, wrapped for up to 3 months. Then, thaw at room temperature before starting the recipe. You can also bake the pie crust and prepare the cream cheese filling several days in advance and store it wrapped in the refrigerator. However, hold off on the glazed strawberry topping until at least 12 hours before serving. If you like this recipe, try some of my other strawberry delights, like strawberry rhubarb crisp, strawberry cobbler, strawberry bread, and strawberry muffins.

Ingredients for Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

How to make Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

Start by combining the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Then, press it onto the bottom and sides of a pie plate. Next, bake it in a preheated oven for about 8-9 minutes. Finally, let the baked crust cool for about 20-30 minutes.

Next, beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and lump-free. Now whip the cream using a stand mixer with a whip attachment until soft peaks form. Now, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Pour in the baked crust and spread evenly. Chill for several hours.

Then, grab a large saucepan and whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, strawberry gelatin, water, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly until the glaze thickens. Allow the glaze to cool, which will thicken more as it cools. Add the strawberries to the glaze and stir gently to coat. Carefully layer the glazed strawberries over the chilled pie. Finally, refrigerate until ready to serve.

Recipe tips

• Always cool the graham cracker crust before proceeding with the rest of the pie.
• Soften the cream cheese so it is easier to blend smoothly.
• For optimal flavor, use pure vanilla extract.
• Keep the whipping cream in the chilliest part of the refrigerator. Chilling the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream is best.
• Plan ahead and allow for the chilling time of the cream cheese layer before placing the strawberries on top.
• The first two layers of the dessert can be prepared up to two days in advance, but the strawberry layer is best prepared on the day of serving.
• Fresh strawberry sauce can be substituted for the strawberries and the glaze. Or, toss the strawberries in warmedstrawberry jam for a quick and easy shortcut.

Storage

Store the pie well covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Leftovers will keep for about 3-4 days if properly stored in the refrigerator. To freeze, cover in two layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

You and your family will love this easy, dependable, scrumptious, and gorgeous dessert. Put the ingredients on your shopping list and make one for your loved ones. They will be singing your praises.
