Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand and holds together.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to compact it. Freeze for 10-15 minutes to set.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
  6. Assemble the pie: Arrange a single layer of sliced strawberries over the bottom of the chilled crust. Spread the creamy filling over the strawberries, smoothing the top.
  7. Artfully arrange reserved whole or halved strawberries on top of the filling.
  8. In a small bowl, warm the strawberry jam in the microwave for about 10 seconds until loose. Gently brush the jam over the arranged strawberries to glaze.
  9. Cover the pie loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not over-whip the heavy cream. The pie must chill fully to set properly for clean slices. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
