A quick and easy no-bake strawberry pie featuring a smooth creamy filling and a crisp graham cracker crust, perfect for summer gatherings and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to smooth and compact the crust evenly. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Prepare the Strawberry Topping (10 minutes): In a small bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let the berries macerate at room temperature for about 10 minutes to release their natural juices and soften slightly.
  3. Make the Creamy Filling (15 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer). Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
  4. Assemble the Pie (5 minutes): Spread the creamy filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Arrange the macerated strawberries on top in an even layer, spooning some of the syrupy juices over the berries for extra shine and flavor.
  5. Chill the Pie (at least 2 hours): Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, slice with a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean cuts.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Chill the crust well to help it hold together. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks but avoid over-whipping. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy. Chill pie at least 2 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor. Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean slices.
