Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Instructions
1. Make the crust:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together in a ball. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
3. Roll out the dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let the crust cool completely.
4. Make the filling:
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Assemble the pie:
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture onto the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Top with sliced strawberries. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the strawberries. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
