Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix
- 1 cups boiling water
- 0.5 cups cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 2
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Step 5
Arrange the halved strawberries in a concentric pattern on top of the cream cheese layer, starting from the outer edge and working inward.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until lukewarm but not set.
Step 7
Carefully spoon the gelatin mixture over the strawberries, ensuring all berries are coated and the gaps are filled.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Step 9
Slice and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
