Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix
- 1 cups boiling water
- 0.5 cups cold water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Arrange the halved strawberries in a concentric pattern on top of the cream cheese layer, starting from the outer edge and working inward.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until lukewarm but not set.
Carefully spoon the gelatin mixture over the strawberries, ensuring all berries are coated and the gaps are filled.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Slice and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
