Strawberry Cream Pie … I have a confession to make.
I just have this weird thing with strawberries.
Honestly – 9/10 times I prefer raspberries (as is evident HERE, HERE, and HERE).
I could eat fresh strawberries all day, everyday. Where I have to draw the line is strawberry flavored things. It never tastes right and it always reminds me of medicine! It’s the strangest thing, right?
So the fact that this strawberry cream pie is one of my all-time favorite pies is REALLY saying something! I literally cannot get enough of the bright, fresh flavor of this amazing pie. The fresh strawberries with the cream cheese and graham cracker crust is a slam-dunk in my book.
Also, note to self: MUST try this same recipe with raspberries! WHOA YUM!!
What is a Strawberry Cream Pie?
To answer simply, strawberry cream pie has a crust (either traditional pie crust or graham cracker), some sort of cream cheese or cream layer, and is topped with strawberries.
Is a Strawberry Cream Pie Easy to Make?
Don’t tell my secrets … but YES! It TOTALLY IS one of the easiest pies in my pie arsenal! It looks impressive and the colors are gorgeous, so no one even thinks that it might be the easiest pie on the face of the earth. The trickiest part is getting beautiful, fresh berries. So if the berries are in stock you’re in luck! Easy peasy!
The other thing that makes this strawberry pie such a cinch is the crust. No rolling out pie dough … I’m a sucker for graham cracker crust! (Although, you could easily substitute the graham cracker crust for a more traditional crust. Totally up to you!)
