Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie Recipe

This strawberry cream cheese pie recipe by Smokin’ & Grillin’ wit AB is simple and requires no oven. It’s a quick recipe for those that are looking for a nice sweet pie with fresh fruit toppings. This recipe includes a homemade graham cracker crust, but if you want to make things easier, you can use a ready-made crust. Plus, this recipe requires less than 10 ingredients if you’re not making a homemade crust. Making a cream cheese pie can be that easy and budget friendly. Also, the filling and topping is made from scratch, so you’re able to see all the ingredients that are added. I usually try to make my desserts a little less sweet than the required.

Ingredients:

For Homemade Crust:

• 10 – 12 whole graham crackers (1 1/4 cup)
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/3 cup melted Butter
• NOTE: Can use a ready-made crust, 9″

For Filling:

• 1 8 oz. Cream Cheese, room temp
• 1 14 oz. can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For Topping:

• 10 – 12 Strawberries, sliced
• 1 can of Redi-Whip
• 1/3 cup of sugar sprinkled over the strawberries

Directions:

First, watch Smokin’ & Grillin’ wit AB tutorial on YouTube to make the homemade crust. Then, make the cream cheese filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Next, pour the cream cheese filling into the pie crust and chill in the fridge for a minimum of one hour to firm. Use the whip cream around the outer rims of the pie as a barrier to seal the juices and strawberries that will be topped in the middle.

Overall, this recipe calls for simple flavors and it’s inexpensive. There’s no need to buy a premade one at the store for about $20 when this can be made for under $10.
