Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes on medium-high speed.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly into the 9-inch pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Step 5: In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 (3 oz) package strawberry Jell-O mix in 1 cup boiling water, stirring for 2 minutes until completely dissolved, then add 1 cup cold water and stir.
  6. Step 6: Let the Jell-O mixture cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, but do not let it set.
  7. Step 7: Carefully pour the cooled strawberry Jell-O over the cream filling in the crust, spreading gently to cover the surface.
  8. Step 8: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the Jell-O topping is firm.
  9. Step 9: Before serving, garnish with 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries if desired.
