Instructions
- Step 1: Combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl; mix until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and light.
- Step 4: Toss 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries with 1 tbsp lemon juice to enhance brightness, then fold gently into the cream cheese filling.
- Step 5: Spoon the strawberry cream mixture evenly into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set and develop flavor before serving.
