Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Graham Cracker Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • For the Strawberry Topping:
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Make the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in melted butter until crumbs are moist. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate. Chill.
  2. Whip the cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beat until combined.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Spoon into the chilled crust, smooth the top, and return to refrigerator.
  5. For the topping, combine strawberries, sugar, and 2 tbsp water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until berries soften and release juices.
  6. Mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water. Slowly drizzle into the strawberry mixture, stirring constantly. Cook 1-2 minutes more until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice. Cool completely.
  7. Pour and spread the cooled strawberry topping over the set cheesecake layer. Chill the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened and strawberry topping is completely cool before assembling for best texture. For clean slices, dip knife in hot water and wipe between cuts.
