Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- For the Strawberry Topping:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
- Make the Strawberry Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the strawberries to release their juices.
- Spoon the strawberry topping over the cream cheese filling.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Serve cold and enjoy!
