Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spread the filling evenly into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 3: Make the Strawberry Topping

Toss sliced strawberries with lemon juice in a bowl.
Warm the strawberry jam slightly in the microwave and drizzle over the strawberries.
Arrange the strawberries on top of the chilled pie.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Chill for another 30 minutes, then slice and serve!
