The magic of the Strawberry Cream Pie lies in its simplicity and indulgent layers. You start with a buttery graham cracker crust that’s just sweet enough and holds up beautifully in the fridge. Then comes the rich cream filling, which is whipped until light and airy, giving you that cloud-like texture with every bite. But the star of the show? A generous pile of sliced strawberries, carefully glazed until they shimmer and sit proudly atop the creamy base.

Origin Strawberry Cream Pie

Inspired by diner-style strawberry pies and creamy chiffon pies popular in America since the mid-20th century, this version pairs a silky cream cheese layer with fresh fruit for the ultimate summer treat.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s simple to make ahead, requires no baking, and is always a showstopper on the table. The creamy filling is light but rich, perfectly balanced by the sweet-tart berries.

Ingredients

• 4 whole limes, washed and quartered

• 1 cup cold water
