This is a really easy, yet very delicious pie. It's sure to impress your family and your guests. It has a sweet and tart strawberry layer on top of a smooth, lightly sweetened cream cheese layer, with a hint of lemon, in a crunchy graham cracker crust. So pretty and so yummy! (NOTE: Use only frozen berries for best results.)

How To Make easy strawberry cream cheese pie

Step 1

Remove cover from graham cracker crust; wash cover in warm soap water; dry cover and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat together 4 ounces softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes.)
Step 3

Add 1 cup thawed whipped topping (such as Cool Whip) and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice; beat until thoroughly combined.
Step 4

Scrape cream cheese mixture into graham pie crust; evenly smooth. Set aside.
Step 5

Pour red strawberry gelatin powder into a mixing bowl
Step 6

Add 1 cup boiling water to gelatin; stir constantly until completely dissolved.
Step 7

Add frozen strawberries, stirring constantly until liquid begins to thicken.
Step 8

Immediately pour strawberry mixture, evenly, over the cream cheese mixture in pie crust. (Work quickly to distribute the berries evenly because it sets up quickly.)
Step 9

Place the clean plastic cover over pie; refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours before serving.
Step 10

Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
