Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made 9-inch Graham Cracker Crust
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
Topping
- 2 ½ cups strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with ½ cup of sifted powdered sugar until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then sift in the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar and gently mix until fully combined and slightly stiffened.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream, until the two are well blended and smooth.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the combined filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
- Add Strawberry Topping and Chill: Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly over the top of the filling. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Sift powdered sugar to avoid lumps in the filling.
- For a different flavor, fresh raspberries or blueberries can be used as the topping instead of strawberries.
- This pie is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimum freshness.
- To save time, slice strawberries ahead of time and keep refrigerated until assembly.
