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 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 3 cups frozen strawberries, thawed
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 8

Next, make the strawberry topping. In a medium saucepan, combine the thawed strawberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and granulated sugar for the topping.

Step 9

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 10

Once the crust has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust.

Step 11

Top the cream cheese layer with the cooled strawberry mixture, spreading it evenly over the surface.

Step 12

Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie!
