Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie Recipe


  • Author: Dorothy Miller

Description

This Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie is decadent and surprisingly easy to make! It’s made with a homemade pie crust, a rich and creamy filling, and a fresh strawberry topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 homemade pie crust
  • Cream Cheese Filling
  • 375 grams cream cheese (1 ½ packages, 12oz – regular or light)
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar (160 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Strawberry Topping

  • 1 lb strawberries thinly slice or chopped
  • 3/4 cup cold strawberry juice* (or another red juice) divided
  • 1 package unflavored gelatin 7g
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • whipped cream to serve if desired
  • Homemade Whipped Cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and press pie crust into a 9″ pie plate. Crimp the edges as desired.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper over the pie crust and fill with dried beans or pie weights. (optional: if not available, simply prick the bottom and sides with a fork all over)
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are light golden brown. Remove the parchment and pie weights and continue baking another 4-5 minutes until the bottom is light golden brown. Set on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat on low speed until smooth.
  • Add the cream and beat on low until incorporated, then beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and fluffy. Set aside.

Strawberry Topping

  • Place ½ cup cold juice in a medium bowl. Sprinkle entire package of gelatin over the top and set aside.
  • Whisk together the remaining juice and jam. Heat in the microwave on high for 45 to 90 seconds, until very hot but not boiling.
  • Whisk into the gelatin until dissolved and set aside for 15-20 minutes until it reaches room temperature (you can use the fridge to speed things up if you need).

Assembly

  • Spread cream cheese filling into cooled pie crust.
  • Top with strawberries, then carefully pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the strawberries to fill the crust (if you don’t use it all, it’s okay!).
  • Refrigerate for 4-6 hours until completely set. Top with whipped cream if desired and serve.
