This pie combines a crisp crust, a smooth, lightly sweetened cream cheese filling, and a fresh, shiny strawberry topping. Perfect for spring, summer, holidays, or any occasion where you want something refreshing yet rich.


Ingredients

Crust (choose one)

1️⃣ Traditional Baked Pie Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) pie crust, baked and cooled

OR

2️⃣ Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 6 tablespoons melted butter


Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (or more to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream or Cool Whip (folded in for lighter texture)

  • 3/4 cup water

  • Optional: red food coloring (1–2 drops for deeper color)

  • Optional garnish: whipped cream, mint, extra berries


Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Crust

If using graham crust:

  1. Mix crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.

  2. Press into a pie pan.

  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.

  4. Let cool completely.

If using a traditional crust, prebake and cool fully.


Step 2 – Make the Cream Cheese Filling

  1. Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until silky.

  2. If using heavy cream, whip separately to soft peaks, then gently fold into cream cheese.

  3. Spread evenly over cooled crust.

  4. Chill while preparing topping.


Step 3 – Prepare Strawberry Glaze & Filling

  1. Choose the best whole strawberries to place on top (keep them whole or halved).

  2. For glaze:

    • In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice.

    • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick and glossy.

    • Add 1/2 cup mashed or finely chopped strawberries to intensify flavor.

    • Optional: add 1–2 drops red food coloring.

  3. Remove from heat and cool slightly.


Step 4 – Assemble the Pie

  1. Arrange whole or halved strawberries over the cream cheese layer.

  2. Spoon cooled glaze over the strawberries, coating them evenly.

  3. Refrigerate at least 3–4 hours to set.


Serve

Slice carefully with a sharp, serrated knife. Serve chilled with:

  • Fresh whipped cream

  • Powdered sugar dusting

  • A drizzle of white chocolate

  • Chocolate curls on top


Tips & Variations

  • For extra rich filling, add 2 tablespoons sour cream.

  • For lighter filling, use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.

  • Mix in mascarpone for a bakery-style flavor.

  • To keep crust firm, brush with melted white chocolate before filling.

  • You can substitute raspberries or blueberries for a mixed berry version.


Make-Ahead Notes

  • The pie stores well for 2–3 days in the refrigerator.

  • Do not freeze — strawberries turn watery and glaze becomes cloudy.
