Strawberry season is one of my favorite times of the year – all those lush, sweet berries beckoning to be picked. Then once they have been picked, they need to be eaten right? This simple Southern dessert will satisfy your craving!

At only 6 calories per large strawberry, I love to eat them au natural. But when I want to share them with friends and family, I use them to create pies, top cakes, and make strawberry bread which are perfect for sharing.

Fresh strawberries.

🥘 Ingredients

For this delicious pie recipe, you need the following ingredients:

  • an unbaked pie crust
  • cream cheese
  • powdered sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • fresh strawberries
  • sugar
  • black pepper
  • water
  • cornstarch
  • Whipped cream

🔪How To Make Strawberry Pie

The first thing you need to do is to bake the pie crust. Take a fork and poke holes in the pie crust to release air that would otherwise bubble up and make a lumpy pie crust. Bake the pie crust according to the package directions and let it cool.

Next, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until it becomes soft. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Place it in the refrigerator while you work on the strawberry layer.

Whipped cream cheese.

Place the remaining berries in the pie crust on top of the cream cheese layer. I recommend that you slice the berries in half. Pour the strawberry sauce over the berries and chill for 2 hours.

Top with whipped cream and enjoy.

      Sounds crazy, right? It’s just a dash and if you don’t like pepper you can omit it.
