Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (or shortbread cookies)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • ½ cup strawberry preserves

For Garnish (Optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced strawberries
  • Crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan and freeze for 15 minutes to set.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Add Strawberries:
    • Fold in the chopped strawberries and strawberry preserves, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Assemble the Pie:
    • Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
    • Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  5. Serve:
    • Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
    • Garnish with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and extra graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute graham crackers with shortbread cookies for a richer crust.
  • Use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are unavailable (thaw and drain excess liquid).
  • Store leftovers in the freezer, covered, for up to 2 weeks.
