Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 1.5 pounds Fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir together until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Step 7

Spread the cream filling evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8

While the pie chills, prepare the strawberry topping. Place the hulled and halved strawberries in a medium bowl.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, whisk together the 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 0.25 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent.

Step 10

Remove the glaze from the heat and let it cool slightly. Pour the glaze over the strawberries and gently toss to coat.

Step 11

Arrange the glazed strawberries on top of the chilled cream filling in an even layer.

Step 12

Refrigerate the assembled pie for another 30 minutes before serving to ensure the topping sets.

Step 13

Slice and serve your Strawberries and Cream Pie cold. Enjoy!
