There is just something about Spring and Summertime that go together with Fresh Strawberries. Beautiful, bright, fresh, red strawberries in every recipe.
I simply cannot eat enough of them! Single Strawberries alone, Strawberries with muffins or cupcakes, strawberries in salads, icebox cakes, smoothies, yogurt, and ice cream, you name it!
So the other day, I had a desire to make some light, refreshing and creamy pie, with graham cracker or oreo crust which makes cream pie even more delicious. And as we all know the hardest part about making this pie is waiting for it to set in the fridge. At the very thought of fridge, leftover strawberries are the first thing that pop up in my mind.

So I thought that I would take my light, refreshing and creamy pie and add some sliced strawberries to it!
Chocolate ?? Over strawberries ?? SO RIGHT !!

This strawberries and cream pie will make one very full 9″ pie pan, or two full-enough 8″ pies.  Bring it along to any summer potluck or barbecue and it’s guaranteed to be a hit with never any leftovers.An easy strawberries and cream pie made with graham crackers, whipped cream, cream cheese and fresh strawberries.

Tip : After the pie is done and ready to be served, stop everything you are doing to pull out your Canon camera or your iPhone because, this is completely killer! The world needs to know.
