Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs About 9 crackers
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • Filling
  • 2 8 ounce package Cream Cheese , softened
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Top
  • 2 cups strawberries cut into slices
  • 1/2 cup chocolate candy coating.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Using a food processor, pulse graham crackers until crumbly.
  • In a large bowl combine graham cracker crumbs and 6 tablespoons melted butter until a crumbly, moist mixture forms.
  • When well combined, press firmly into the bottom and sides an 9 inch deep dish pie plate. ( You can use your fingers or bottom of a glass)
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla, mix with electric mixer until well combined and smooth.
  • In small bowl with electric mixer, beat heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold whipped heavy cream into cream cheese mixture, until evenly incorporated and smooth.
  • Spoon into cooled baked pie crust, and spread it out in an even layer.
  • Slice the strawberries however you like. I just did basic slices into thirds, but you can make them bite sized chunks or what’s more appealing to you.
  • Arrange the strawberries in a rows around on top of the pie.
  • In a bowl melt chocolate candy coating.
  • You can use a spoon to drizzle it over the tops of the strawberries or you can put it into a small zip-top bag and snip of the corner for an easy "piping bag."
  • Chill for at least 2-3 hours or until set.
  • Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
