👪Why you'll love it

Easy recipe- This recipe uses a premade crust. And, while some of the strawberries are sliced, the majority of them are puréed in a food processor or blender, along with the cream cheese. No bake dessert- This is the perfect dessert for a hot day, especially since you don't have to turn on the oven! Crowd pleaser- Anyone who loves strawberries, cream cheese and cream will love this delicious pie!

🫚Spice Reveal

I did mention that there was a secret spice in this pie. If you didn't already sneak a peek, you might now be scrutinizing the below picture. Yup, there it is, sitting in its own little cup to the right of the strawberries. REVEAL PARTY: It's nutmeg! You read that right. Nutmeg adds just a little bit of complimentary flavor to this already amazingly, tasty dessert. Here's a fun fact: Nutmeg actually comes from the seed found in fruit that grows on nutmeg trees! A little aromatic, nutmeg enhances the sweet flavor of strawberries (among other fruits, like it's popular pairing with pumpkin)--thus making it an excellent addition in so many fruit pies.

🥘Ingredients

For a full list of ingredients and measurements, see the printable recipe card below

• pre-made graham cracker crust- makes the recipe so easy from the start!
• granulated sugar
• vanilla extract
• ground nutmeg- enhances the sweet, strawberry flavor
• fresh strawberry slices- do not use frozen for this recipe as they're too mushy
• heavy whipping cream- heavy cream is best for this recipe since it thickens the pie when beaten
• confectioner's sugar, sifted- acts as a stabilizer
• bar cream cheese- for a firm pie, choose full fat

🔪Instructions

For more detailed instructions, see the printable recipe card below

1. In a food processor or blender, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Mix until well blended.
2. Add ¾ cup of the sliced strawberries. Blend until strawberries are puréed and mixture is smooth.
3. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip heavy cream with confectioner's sugar until stiff peaks form.
4. Spoon the puréed strawberry/cream cheese mixture into the large bowl. Carefully fold to blend with whip.
5. Fold in the remaining ¼ cup of sliced strawberries.
6. Spoon mixture into graham cracker crust and gently spread to the edges.
7. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or even overnight. Garnish with additional berries if desired.

Hint: Use fresh, firm strawberries for best results.
