Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened (full fat preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled (for whipped cream topping)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a store-bought crust, prebake it at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth (2–3 minutes). Add sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch; mix until silky.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form (3–4 minutes). Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
  4. Prepare Strawberries: Toss sliced strawberries with lemon juice. Reserve 1 cup for topping.
  5. Combine Filling and Strawberries: Fold remaining strawberries into cream cheese mixture gently. Pour filling into cooled crust and smooth the top.
  6. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  7. Make Fresh Whipped Cream: Whip remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe over chilled pie and garnish with reserved strawberries.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Chill pie for at least 4 hours to set filling properly. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light and airy. Prebake crust to avoid sogginess. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut cream. Pie freezes well without whipped cream topping.
