About The Filling

The filling in this strawberry cream cheese pie gives you a feeling of cheesecake which is much easier to make. Start with beating heavy cream until it thickens. In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, honey and vanilla until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula and spread it into the cooled pie crust.

This is such a great no bake cheesecake filling that you can use it on any pie, top with whatever fruit you have on hand and create your own cream cheese pie recipe. It would even be a wonderful change in our Strawberry Chocolate Cake Recipe, which is one of your favorite cakes on the blog. To give the cake a lighter taste, just substitute this amazing filling for chocolate ganache.

If you are a fan of the lovely combination of strawberries and cream, I’m sure this pie will become a hit for you. With a cream cheese twist this time.YUM! Oh and if you are after a richer and sweeter treat, you can spread a little Homemade Strawberry Jam on the filling first and then top with fresh strawberries.

About The Crust

This is a classic buttery crust that you can easily make at home with five ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, cold butter and cold water. It is blind baked, cooled and filled with that cream cheese mixture. Believe it or not, it’s really easy and you will feel like a pro after making it once.

We’ve been making this crust for years, mostly for this strawberry cream cheese pie recipe and it has never failed. Cut butter into flour, sugar and salt mixture and pulse the food processor until crumbly. Then add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough forms a ball. Wrap and refrigerate for an hour.

Roll out the dough on a baking paper larger than the pan and place it into the pan so that it covers the sides as well. Put it in the freezer while you preheat the oven. Remove and prick the dough with a fork. Cover it with baking paper and fill it with dried beans. Bake until the edges are slightly golden brown. Remove the beans and the baking paper on it, bake another 15 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Cool it completely before filling.

      Thank you Natalie! Glad you love the updated photos and the pie.
      To be honest, we are a bit embarrassed whenever we look at those old photos, but they are a part of the history of this blog and we don't want to get rid of them.
