Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 pounds Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they are fine crumbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl and combine with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread the cream filling evenly over the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the cornstarch, and water. Stir until the mixture thickens and becomes clear, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Gently toss the sliced strawberries with the prepared glaze until evenly coated.
Arrange the glazed strawberries over the chilled cream filling.
Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 1 additional hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice and enjoy your Strawberry Cream Pie with Graham Crust!
