Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • One pie crust (you only need half of the recipe for one crust)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3/4 cup (155g) sugar
  • 5 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup (240ml) strawberry puree, strained to remove seeds (you need about 2 cups (280g) chopped strawberries)
  • 3 cups (380g) whole strawberries, sliced
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 6 tbsp (63g) powdered sugar
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6-7 strawberries, halved

Instruction

  • Place the pie crust in a 9-inch deep dish pie pan, crimp the edges and prick the sides and bottom with a fork. Blind bake the pie crust. Use pie weights to keep the crust from puffing up too much when baking. Set aside to cool.
  • Add the cream cheese and sugar to a large mixer bowl and beat until well combined and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Add the whipping cream to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold about 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add the remaining whipped cream and gently fold together.
  • Spread the filling evenly into cooled pie crust. Set in the fridge.
  • Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Add the strawberry puree and stir to combine.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to thicken and come to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and allow to cool until just warmer than room temperature. It should have a pudding-like consistency.
  • Once cooled, gently stir the sliced strawberries into the glaze, spoon the glaze over the cream cheese filling and spread the glaze evenly.
  • Refrigerate 4-6 hours or until completely chilled.
  • Prior to serving, make the whipped cream. Add all the ingredients to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Pipe the whipped cream onto the outer edge of the pie and top with strawberry halves.
