With fresh seasonal strawberries topped in a sweet glaze, a creamy filling of no bake cheesecake, and an easy no-roll pastry crust you’ll want to add this strawberry cream cheese pie recipe to your recipe collection too.
This is the perfect treat to enjoy in the garden on a warm summer day. Serve the strawberry cream cheese pie with whipped cream for the perfect summer fruit dessert. This homemade pie is quick and easy to make, and always a hit with strawberry lovers.
Fresh Strawberries
This pie is made with fresh strawberries. It's best with local in season sweet strawberries. The strawberries are sliced and covered with a sweet glossy glaze on top. If you're looking for a great strawberry dessert to use up remaining strawberries after a day of picking, this recipe is perfect. It's sure to become a favorite summer dessert.
Cheesecake Filling
This no-bake cream cheese filling is creamy and sweet and delicious. We prefer to use full-fat cream cheese in this recipe as it gives the best creamy texture to the pie. You can substitute low fat cream cheese in this recipe if you prefer to but it will be a slightly different texture. The cream cheese combined with sugar and almond flavoring creates a cream cheese mixture that is light and delicious. The cream cheese layer combines perfectly with the cookie like crust, and tart sweet glazed strawberries.
This filling includes almond extract which gives it a unique and delicious flavor. If for some reason, like a nut allergy you can not use almond, feel free to substitute vanilla extract for a different but delicious flavor.
Easy No-Roll Pie Crust
Unlike a no-bake strawberry pie, this one has a quick and easy pie crust that needs a few minutes in the oven to bake. It's more like a cookie dough than a traditional pastry crust. It's mixed together and then pushed into the bottom of the pie plate to form the crust, with your fingers. No difficult pie pastry crust to form and roll out with a rolling pin. Just mix this quick crust together, press into the pie plate, and bake for 10 min.
Allow the pie crust to fully cool before adding in the layer of cream cheese pie filling, to avoid it melting. Then top with strawberries and glaze and let it all set in the fridge for a few hours.
Whipped Cream
Serve this pie with some whipped cream on the side. To make homemade whipped cream, add 237mL of heavy whipping cream to a stand mixer and whip until stiff peaks form. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 3 teaspoon sugar, and mix to combine.
