How to Make Cream Cheese Topped Strawberry Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade pie crust, bake according to package instructions. Otherwise, skip to step 3.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Arrange several whole strawberries on the bottom of the pie shell.
- Fill the pie shell with the sliced strawberries.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together water, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Jell-O until completely dissolved.
- Immediately pour the hot Jell-O mixture over the strawberries in the pie crust.
- Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set.
- Once the pie is chilled, spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture over the top of the pie, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the cream cheese topping to chill.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cream Cheese Topped Strawberry Pie!
