Ingredients
1 9-inch graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
2 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered (divided use)
2 Tbsp strawberry jam or preserves, gently warmed
Instructions
- Prepare or purchase a 9-inch graham cracker crust and let it cool if baked.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Spread the creamy filling evenly into the prepared crust.
- Toss a portion of the strawberries with the gently warmed and cooled strawberry jam until coated.
- Layer the coated strawberries over the cream filling, then top with the remaining fresh strawberries.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to allow it to set firmly.
Notes

- Cool Whip can be substituted for whipped cream.
- Store covered in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
