Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie
If you love strawberry cheesecake – but are looking for an easier, no-bake option – then this strawberry cream cheese pie is the perfect recipe. It has a thick and crunchy graham crust and a creamy, dreamy, filling with a mountain of strawberries on top. The filling is similar to a no-bake cheesecake, but a little lighter in texture. Think less cream cheese-y and more whipped creamy.
Besides from the fact that this pie is absolutely delicious, I love this recipe because it’s no-bake and can be made in very little time compared to a baked cheesecake or a homemade strawberry pie. There’s no need to worry about pastry crust fails, soupy pie filling, or fancy lattice pie crusts.
