Equipment

  • 1 9-inch pie dish chilled
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Electric Mixer

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted

Strawberry Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 package 3 oz strawberry gelatin
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate to set while you make the filling.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating until well blended.
  • In a small saucepan, heat water to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir in strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved. Let cool slightly.
  • Slowly add the cooled gelatin to the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
  • Pour the strawberry filling into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours until completely set. For best results, chill overnight.

Serving

  • Slice the pie and serve chilled. Garnish with extra fresh strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Storage

  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze, as the texture will change.
