Today I have a very sweet strawberry cream cheese pie recipe that one of the ladies from church shared with us. It is one of my favorite pie recipes, and is very simple to make.
Here is what you will need for the pie:
- 8 ounces cool whip
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 pie crust (recipe below)
- strawberries (prepared as stated below)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon sugar
First, the strawberries need to be prepared for the pie. This requires getting rid of the tops and slicing the berries, then letting them soak in sugar. This will break down the strawberries, creating a sweet glaze that will also be used in the recipe. Next, prepare the crust.
Ingredients for crust
- graham crackers (about 5 ounces or one sleeve), crushed
- 1 stick margarine
- 1/2 cup sugar
Now do this to make the crust:

Then, start on the pie.
Once all the strawberries are on top, let it sit in the fridge a few hours, then serve! A simple and easy recipe that requires no baking! I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it. Feel free to leave a comment below or on Facebook.

Another option for the strawberries instead of using sugar on them is to buy a bag of the strawberry glaze in your local produce department. Stir the glaze and sliced strawberries together then spread on top of cheese / cool whip mixture. This is how our friend from church makes this recipe. However, the glaze option makes for a very sweet pie!
