*This recipe has received some new photos since its original publish date but is still the same recipe we love! I don’t make a lot of pies. So when I do, it has to be good. And this Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie did not disappoint. This dessert looks and tastes fancy, but is surprisingly simple to make. It’s made with a buttery homemade pie crust, a 4-ingredient cream cheese filling, a simple strawberry jam layer, and of course a light and sweet whipped cream topping. This no-bake dessert is perfect for summer! Looking for more creamy pie recipes? Check out my Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, Banana Cream Pie.
Ingredients Needed:
Pie Crust: I like to use my Homemade Pie Crust, but feel free to use your favorite store-bought pie crust if preferred.
Cream Cheese Filling
Cream Cheese: regular or light cream cheese will work. Powdered Sugar: adds sweetness and gives the pie filling its structure. Vanilla: gives the cream cheese filling flavor depth and some extra flavor. Heavy Whipping Cream: makes the pie super rich and creamy.
Strawberry Topping
Strawberries: use fresh, thinly sliced or chopped strawberries. Strawberry Juice/Water and Gelatin: gelatin mixed with a liquid gives the strawberry jam topping structure. You can use water or strawberry juice for some extra flavor. Strawberry Jam: just use your favorite variety! Whipped Cream: I like to whip up my Homemade Whipped Cream for serving.

Tips and Notes
Bring the cream cheese to room temp before whipping it so it becomes extra fluffy and creamy. Blind bake the pie crust. Pre-baking the pie crust isn’t totally necessary, but I do recommend it. It crisps the crust up just enough so that it doesn’t become soggy as it sits. Cool the crust completely. Be sure that the crust is completely cooled off before you add in the filling. If it’s warm at all the filling will just melt. For clean slices, use a clean, sharp knife. Run it under hot water, dry it completely, then slice. Repeat between slices for clean cuts every time. Chopping the strawberries: The larger strawberry slices pictured look really pretty but do make the pie a little bit more difficult to slice. If you want to chop the strawberries into smaller pieces so it’s easier to slice, feel free. Swap the berries. This cream cheese pie works great with pretty much any berry you like. Try raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or even mixed berries.
