Instructions
-
Prepare the Pie Crust
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges as desired.
- Use a fork to poke holes in the crust to prevent bubbling. Cover with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dry beans.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove weights and bake for 4-5 more minutes. Let cool completely.
-
Make the Cream Cheese Layer
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Pour in heavy whipping cream and mix on low speed, then increase to high speed for 1 minute until thick and fluffy.
-
Prepare the Strawberry Topping
- In a bowl, dissolve strawberry Jell-O in hot water, then stir in cold water.
-
Assemble the Pie
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled pie crust.
- Arrange sliced strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
- Carefully pour the Jell-O mixture over the strawberries.
- Refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
-
Serve & Enjoy
