This pie has three layers–crust, filling, and topping. You can make the crust from scratch using graham crackers, butter, and sugar, but if you don’t have a lot of time, use a ready-made pie crust. The topping is made from whipped cream and strawberries. If you are not a fan of strawberries, use any fruit you prefer.

How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

Step 1:

Prepare the strawberries. Add the sliced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle 1/3 cup of sugar. Mix well. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.

Step 2:

In a blender, add the graham crackers and blend until it turns into crumbs. Transfer into a bowl.

Step 3:

Add melted butter and sugar. Mix until just combined using a spatula, then use your hands to work the butter in. It should feel like wet sand.

Step 4:

Transfer the crumbs into a pie pan and press flat using the bottom of a glass. Add the remaining to the edges and press with your hands. Flatten the bottom and sides again if needed. Chill in the fridge for an hour.

Step 5:

In a different bowl, add room-temperature cream cheese and mix on low using a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add condensed milk and whisk on low speed. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

Step 6:

While mixing, gradually add the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Step 7:

Get the pie crust and pour the filling. Spread evenly. Chill for a minimum of an hour to 4 hours.

Step 8:

Once chilled, add whipped cream on the edges. Remove the strawberries using a slotted spoon to strain the juices, then add in the center of the pie. Using a tablespoon, pour a little bit of the juices in the center. Serve and enjoy!
