Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9–10 inches)
- 5–6 cups quartered strawberries
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry glaze: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium-low heat. Stir until juices are released. Crush strawberries with a potato masher, then bring to boil while stirring constantly for one minute. Remove from heat and cool.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the cream cheese layer into the crust. Once strawberry glaze is cool, mix in remaining strawberries and pour over the cream cheese layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
