Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 9 graham cracker sheets (about 140 g)

  • ¾ cup pecans (80 g)

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (50 g)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (85 g)

For the Filling:

  • 16 ounces fresh or frozen strawberries, stemmed (450 g)

  • 1¼ cup heavy whipping cream (300 g)

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature (110 g)

For Serving (optional):

  • Extra whipped cream

  • Fresh strawberries


Instructions

  • Prepare the crust:
    Crush graham crackers and pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Add brown sugar and salt, then pulse to combine.

  • Stir in melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge while preparing filling.

  • Make the filling:
    In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.

  • In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

  • In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk.

  • Fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in whipped cream until combined.

  • Pour filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.

  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

 

  • Serve: Top with extra whipped cream and fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

For a chunkier texture, pulse strawberries less or reserve some diced for topping.

Use fresh strawberries when in season for best flavor, frozen works well too.

  • This pie keeps well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
