Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Strawberry jelly
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
To make the crust, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Let it cool completely.
For the cream layer, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly over the cooled crust.
In a medium saucepan, warm the strawberry jelly over low heat just until melted. Let it cool slightly.
Arrange the sliced strawberries over the cream layer in an even layer. Brush the melted jelly over the strawberries to give them a glossy finish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your homemade Strawberries Cream Pie!
