Ingredients
Crust
- 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust, baked and cooled
Filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
Topping
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- ½ cup strawberry glaze
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This creates a luscious base for the pie.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy, which gives the pie its signature fluffy texture.
- Fill Pie Crust: Spread the creamy filling evenly into the cooled baked pie crust, ensuring a smooth and even layer that will support the strawberries on top.
- Arrange Strawberries: Generously pile the hulled and halved fresh strawberries on top of the filling, building up a tall mound to achieve the ‘mile high’ effect for an impressive presentation.
- Add Strawberry Glaze: Spoon the strawberry glaze over the berries to add a shiny, sweet finish that enhances flavor and appearance.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly and develop the best flavor and texture before serving.
Notes
- Use the freshest strawberries available for the best flavor and visual appeal.
- Chill the pie thoroughly before slicing to ensure clean cuts and a firm filling.
- Store the pie refrigerated to maintain freshness and safety; consume within 2-3 days for optimal taste.
