Ingredients
- 1 1 9-10" Graham Cracker Crust prepared and baked (click on link)
Strawberry topping
- 5-6 5-6 cups quartered strawberries, stems removed divided
- ½ ½ cup sugar
- 2 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In small saucepan, combine 2 cups strawberries (280g), sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium-low heat.
- Stir frequently until strawberries release their juices.
- Use a potato masher to crush the strawberries until mostly liquid (it's fine if small pieces are remaining).
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil (still stirring constantly) for 1 minutes and remove from heat, place in new heat proof container to cool faster. Set aside while you prepare your cream cheese layer
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate, clean bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks
- Fold into cream cheese mixture -- the resulting mixture will be thick and fluffy.
- Spread evenly into prepared graham cracker crust and place in refrigerator while your strawberry mixture continues to cool.
- Once strawberry mixture has cooled completely, add remaining srawberries and stir well.
- Pour over cream cheese layer, piling/mounding strawberries towards the center.
- Return to refrigerator and allow to set at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing and serving.
