Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 16 oz Philadelphia cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 prepared pie crust 9-inch
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened Philadelphia cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  • Gradually add the sugar while mixing until light and creamy (about 1 minute).
  • Scrape down the bowl and add sour cream, mixing on low speed until combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract briefly.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and tap gently to release air bubbles.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and leave the pie inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  • Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for about an hour.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  • For strawberry topping, mix sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice; let sit for 30 minutes, then spoon over slices when serving.

Notes

Make sure ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling. For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. This pie can be topped with anything from fresh fruit to chocolate sauce or caramel. Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Consider using a pie shield or foil to protect crust edges from over-browning while baking. If you're short on time, a store-bought pie crust works just as well as homemade.
