Ingredients
- 200 g Graham cracker crumbs
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 100 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 225 g Cream cheese, softened
- 100 g Powdered sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 500 g Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 60 ml Strawberry jam or preserves
- 15 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 3
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, covering the bottom and side walls. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
Step 4
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 6
Spread the cream filling evenly into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and set aside.
Step 7
Arrange the halved strawberries, cut-side down, over the cream filling in a circular pattern, covering the entire surface.
Step 8
In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry jam and water over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly, then brush the glaze over the strawberries to give them a shiny finish.
Step 9
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to firm up.
Step 10
Slice and serve the Ultimate Strawberry Cream Pie chilled. Enjoy!
