Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 3 cups Fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for the strawberry glaze)
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Sprinkle the chocolate chunks evenly over the top of the filling. Set the pie aside in the refrigerator while preparing the strawberry topping.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to create a glaze for the strawberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the glaze to cool slightly. Toss the hulled and sliced strawberries with the prepared glaze until evenly coated.
Arrange the glazed strawberries on top of the pie, covering the cream cheese layer completely.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Slice and serve the pie chilled. Optional: garnish with additional chocolate chunks or whipped cream if desired.
