Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Stir until crumbs are evenly moistened, then press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing filling.
  2. 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.
  3. Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  5. Step 5: Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the chilled crust.
  6. Step 6: Toss 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup strawberry jam until coated, then layer evenly over the cream filling.
  7. Step 7: Spread the remaining cream filling over the strawberries, smoothing the top.
  8. Step 8: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight until set before serving.
