A quick and easy no-bake creamy strawberry cream cheese pie with a crunchy, buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for gatherings and a crowd-pleasing dessert that balances silky filling with fresh strawberry bursts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) graham crackers, finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers finely using a food processor or rolling pin inside a sealed bag.
  2. Combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press crumb mixture firmly and evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Compact tightly using back of spoon or flat-bottomed glass.
  4. Bake crust for 8 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks using an electric mixer.
  7. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula to keep filling light and fluffy.
  8. Fold in chopped fresh strawberries, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
  9. Pour filling into cooled crust and smooth top with spatula.
  10. Refrigerate pie for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to set and meld flavors.
  11. Before serving, garnish with reserved strawberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Press crust firmly and bake to prevent sogginess. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Use a warm knife to slice cleanly. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
