Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8 minutes until set and golden, then let cool completely.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Spread this creamy layer evenly over the cooled crust.
  3. Step 3: Dissolve 1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jell-O mix in 1 cup boiling water, stirring for 2 minutes until fully dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir. Allow the Jell-O to cool to room temperature but not set. Pour the cooled Jell-O gently over the cream layer, then refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  4. Step 4: Before serving, garnish the top with 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries arranged decoratively. Slice and serve chilled.
