Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 packet strawberry gelatin (optional for bright color)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until fully combined.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Let them macerate for about 10 minutes. If desired, sprinkle in the optional strawberry gelatin for a more vibrant color.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Layer half of the sugared strawberries over the cream layer, spreading them out evenly.
Repeat with the remaining cream mixture and top with the remaining strawberries to create a layered 'ribbon' effect.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight refrigeration is ideal for the best texture and flavor.
Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional whipped cream and whole strawberries for presentation.
