Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.25 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 oz strawberry flavored gelatin (1 small box)
  • 0.5 cup boiling water
  • 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced
  • 8 oz whipped topping, thawed (e.g., Cool Whip)

Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand, ensuring everything is evenly moistened.
  2. Form crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even layer. Place it in the refrigerator to chill and set for 30 minutes.
  3. Dissolve gelatin: In a small bowl, whisk the strawberry-flavored gelatin into the boiling water until fully dissolved. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the cream cheese later.
  4. Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract, blending well for a creamy texture.
  5. Combine gelatin with cream cheese: Slowly beat the cooled strawberry gelatin liquid into the cream cheese mixture until the filling turns a uniform pink color and is fully combined.
  6. Fold in whipped topping and strawberries: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping, then carefully fold in the finely diced fresh strawberries to maintain their texture and appearance.
  7. Assemble and chill: Pour the prepared filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until fully set and firm.
  8. Decorate and serve: Before serving, pipe whipped cream decoratively on top of the pie and generously sprinkle with colorful sprinkles. Slice and enjoy your no-bake strawberry dream pie!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Use fresh strawberries for best texture and flavor, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained well.
  • Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps it stay firm and prevents sogginess.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the condensed milk slightly to taste.
  • The pie must chill for at least 4 hours to properly set; overnight chilling yields the best results.
