I can’t get enough of this Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe…Amazing! The tart and sweet strawberries paired with the amazing creamy no-bake cheesecake layer are a match made in strawberry heaven. Add a little flaky pie crust in there, and forget about it….half the pie is gone before I knew what happened. For another dessert with fresh strawberries and cream cheese, try this Strawberry Pretzel Dessert with Fresh Strawberries.
I blame my friend, Tracie, for my obsession with Strawberry Pie. She introduced me to her perfect version of Fresh Strawberry Pie, and before that moment, I didn’t even know I liked it. Now it is on my “Things I Must Eat 10 of Before Strawberry Season Comes and Goes” list.
Tracie has a top-secret family recipe that she uses, so I’ve been experimenting to come up with my own version. I gotta say, this little Fresh Strawberry Pie is a winner.

There really aren’t words for how delicious it is. Don’t waste another minute reading this post. Jump up and go get yourself 2 lbs of strawberries, so you can get this little sucker made and in your belly! RUN!
…..homemade pie crust….ain’t nobody got time for that. Just grab yourself a deep-dish frozen pie crust like I did.
This pie represents everything that is right with the world. I hope it makes you as happy as it makes me.
HOW TO MAKE FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE RECIPE…AMAZING!
- Bake deep-dish frozen pie crust according to package directions. Let the pie crust cool completely.
- Chop one pound of the strawberries into tiny pieces. You can do this by hand or with a food processor.
- Cut the other pound of strawberries in half. If there are some huge ones, cut them in thirds or fourths. Reserve the strawberries for later.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, the juice of half a lemon, and the finely chopped strawberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Remove from heat.
- In a small/medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until completely combined and smooth.
- Spread cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the completely cooled pie crust.
- Add the largely chopped strawberries to the thickened strawberry glaze mixture and stir gently until they are all coated.
- Next, pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer in the pie crust.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
Tips for making Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe
- To fit the cream cheese and strawberry layer into the pie shell, use a deep-dish frozen pie crust or make your own deep-dish crust.
- Use a food processor to chop the first pound of strawberries into tiny pieces.
- The 6 ounces of cream cheese is just enough for my preference. If you want to use the whole 8-ounce block of cream cheese, it will still turn out delicious.
- You can make this pie the day before serving. Keep the pie covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
