Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 cup Fresh strawberry slices (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and combine until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Use the bottom of a cup to press it down if needed.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then microwave for 10-15 seconds until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Using a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
Blend 3 cups of strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour the puree into the cream cheese mixture and mix until evenly distributed.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the strawberry-cream mixture and mix well.
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4-6 hours, or until the filling is set.
Before serving, top the pie with fresh strawberry slices for garnish. Slice and enjoy your Fluffy Strawberry Pie!
