Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 9-inch graham cracker crust Can be store-bought or homemade.
Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure it's at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Adjust to taste, especially if you prefer a sweeter edge.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for a richer flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Ensure it’s cold for the best whipping results.
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar This sweetens the whipped cream, making it light and fluffy.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Brightens the flavors and balances the sweetness.
  • 1 cup strawberry jam Choose a good-quality jam for an authentic touch.
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced Use ripe, juicy strawberries for the best taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes at medium speed). Scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form (4-5 minutes at high speed).
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  4. Stir lemon juice into the strawberry jam until smooth.
  5. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture into the graham cracker crust.
  6. Spoon the strawberry jam layer over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly.
  7. Top with the remaining cream cheese mixture and smooth the surface.
  8. Arrange sliced strawberries on top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Store any leftover pie tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
