Strawberry Cream Pie

This is a very old recipe. Other than a short baking time for the crust, this is a no-bake pie that is easy to make and tastes very good.


Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup powdered sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted

Mix together the ingredients and press into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Cool.

Pie Filling
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
dash nutmeg
1 cup fresh strawberry slices, divided
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Garnish (Optional)
Additional strawberry slices
Additional whipped cream


In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg, mixing well until well combined. Mash 3/4 cup of the strawberry slices and stir into the cream cheese mixture. In another mixing bowl, beat together the whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form and fold into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the remaining strawberry slices. Spoon mixture into the prepared pie crust and chill for several hours. If desired, serve with additional strawberry slices and whipped cream.
