Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Graham cracker crumbs
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 100 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 225 g Cream cheese, softened
- 100 g Powdered sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 500 g Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 60 ml Strawberry jam or preserves
- 15 ml Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, covering the bottom and side walls. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spread the cream filling evenly into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and set aside.
Arrange the halved strawberries, cut-side down, over the cream filling in a circular pattern, covering the entire surface.
In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry jam and water over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly, then brush the glaze over the strawberries to give them a shiny finish.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to firm up.
Slice and serve the Ultimate Strawberry Cream Pie chilled. Enjoy!
