Crust Ingredients:
- 8 Graham Crackers, crushed
- 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
Filling Ingredients:
- 12 oz. cream cheese (1 1/2 bricks), at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 eggs
Topping Ingredients:
- 8 oz. sour cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 pints fresh strawberries
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- For the crust, combine all ingredients and firmly press into a deep pie plate. I like to use the bottom of a measuring cup to really press the crust down firm. If you absolutely have to... you can skip this step and buy a pre-made graham cracker crust... but please don't!
- Once the pie crust is done, preheat oven to 350°. For the filling, combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and eggs. Mix until you have a smooth creamy texture. Pour into graham cracker crust and bake for 20-25 minutes, until center is almost set.
- While the filling is baking, combine the sour cream and sugar for the topping. Mix until smooth. Spread over the warm filling and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
- Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight. Before serving, cut the tops off of the strawberries and place them upside down on the pie. Dust with confectioners sugar.
- Enjoy!!!
