Fresh Strawberry Cream Pie – Mel’s Kitchen Cafe

Glorious Strawberries are the star of this simple and delicious fresh strawberry cream pie. It can be made with Graham cookies or classic pie crust!
This incredible strawberry pie has a butter shell, a non-grilled strawberry pie filling and a sweet whipped cream topping. When seasonal strawberries, it is so good that it must be made!

How to Make Fresh Strawberry Pi
The first step in this summer strawberry pi is filling. The pie itself is no Bake (except the crust). Instead, the filling is cooked on the stovetop.
- Add 1 1/2 pounds of strawberries to the pan and mash the mashed potatoes until the strawberries are juicy and small pieces.
- Add sugar, corn starch and lemon juice.
- Cook the mixture on the stove over low heat. Keep stirringuntil the filling bubbles and becomes thicker.
- Stir the remaining fresh strawberries and let the mixture cool.
Add chopped fresh strawberries The thick pie filling creates a juicy, bright strawberry flavor that every pleasing bite will be appreciated.








Graham Cracker Case or Traditional Pie Crust
Yes. You have a choice.
The recipe below calls for a buttery, delicious cereal cookie crust. The simplicity is unbeatable, the strawberry filling and cream toppings are delicious.
But if the traditional pie crust is your business, you can easily put the Graham Cracker Crust in. If you do this, you will need to blindly bake the pie (i.e. weigh with pie weight or dried beans and bake completely), then cool before making the recipe.
It all boils down to preference and you really can’t go wrong. I often find myself in the case where my heart hopes to be Martha Stewart and go to pâtebrisée, but my soul says, “Girlfriend, grab Graham cookies.” 😜




Assemble Strawberry Cream Pie
Fill the strawberry pie into the pie crust and Relax while making cream toppings.
For the cream layer, whip together:
- Cream cheese (only small amount)
- Powdered sugar
- vanilla
- Heavy cream
Yes, it’s easy! To avoid clumping, it helps mix the first three ingredients together, then add heavy cream and whip everything together.
Sprinkle the pie filling with flower filling and cool for a few more hours.




Replace pie layer
You can exchange the order of the pie filling layers by sprinkling the cream mixture into the pie crust first and then adding the cooked strawberry mixture to the top (make sure the strawberry filling is mostly spread on top before it is spread on top). However, if you do this, I recommend using a 9.5-inch deep pie board to avoid matching layers, thanks to the different “pie physics” that happens when the pie is filled on the top.




Perfect summer pie
This fresh strawberry cream pie is beautiful, easy to make and very delicious.
It’s just screaming in the summer! With a good ice cream, not a scary ice cream way. This pie refrigerated slice is the perfect ending for any meal.
If you are looking for different fruit variations, let your attention to this amazing peach pie without baking fillings. And…I think you can easily swap different fruits for strawberries and swap them for strawberries in this recipe below. Oh, and when I type…what is the triple berry pie with this cream filling? That’s amazing!
enjoy!
