Description
A refreshing no-bake pie featuring a silky cream cheese filling and mixed berries, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup berry jam or sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter in a medium bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, forming a firm layer. Refrigerate it while preparing the filling.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with your electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Mix the cream cheese: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then blend in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, carefully preserving the light and airy texture.
- Layer the filling: Pour half of the fluffy mixture into the chilled crust, smoothing it out evenly.
- Add the berries and jam: Scatter the mixed berries over this layer, then drizzle the berry jam atop the fruits, creating beautiful swirls.
- Top it off: Pour the remaining filling over the berries, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Chill the pie: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or overnight.
- Serve: Slice and serve cold. Enjoy the compliments!
Notes
Make ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Experiment with different fruits for variation.
