Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 store bought pie crust, defrosted

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberry Topping

  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries, cored (hulled)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam

Garnish

  • Whipped cream, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake pie crust: Set the store-bought pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and bake following the package instructions. Once baked, allow the crust to cool completely before proceeding to the next step to ensure the filling sets properly.
  2. Make cream cheese filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This typically takes 2 to 3 minutes at medium speed using a mixer or whisk for a creamy texture.
  3. Prepare strawberry topping: In a separate bowl, gently mix the cored fresh strawberries with strawberry jam to coat the berries and add a glossy finish.
  4. Assemble the pie: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly into the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Then arrange the coated whole strawberries over the cream cheese. For a dramatic appearance, pile the strawberries high.
  5. Chill the pie: For cleaner slicing and better set-up, refrigerate the pie for at least one hour. This step allows the filling to firm up and flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Just before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy this creamy, fruity dessert.

Notes

  • Using room temperature cream cheese ensures a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Coring the strawberries improves the pie's texture and makes it easier to eat.
  • Chilling the pie for at least an hour helps with cleaner slices and better flavor integration.
  • Feel free to substitute strawberry jam with homemade preserves or use less sugar for a less sweet pie.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust.
