Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup Cool Whip
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 pre-baked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups strawberries (fresh )
  • Strawberry glaze (homemade or store-bought)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Filling

  • In a medium bowl, blend 8 oz cream cheese, 1 cup Cool Whip, and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth.

Step 2: Fill the Crust

  • Spread the cream filling evenly into the cooled pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Glaze

  • Prepare strawberry glaze using a recipe from your preferred source or use a ready-made glaze. Pour or spread it gently over the cream filling.

Step 4: Top with Strawberries

  • Place fresh, hulled strawberries on top of the glaze.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

  • Top with whipped cream before serving. Chill until ready to eat.

Tips

  • Use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a richer flavor.
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream filling for extra depth.
  • For a firmer filling, chill at least 1 to 2 hours before adding berries.
  • Use a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pie crust for added texture.
  • Add sliced bananas under the strawberries for a layered fruit variation.
  • Mix a small amount of lemon zest into the filling for brightness.
  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • Add toasted pecans or walnuts on top for crunch.
  • Make individual mini pies using tart shells.
  • Swap strawberries with raspberries or mixed berries when in season.
