Description
A seasonal showstopper balancing a crisp, flaky crust with layers of airy cream and a mountain of glossy, glazed strawberries. Features a buttery blind-baked base and a cloud-like whipped filling, making it the ultimate centerpiece for any summer gathering.
Ingredients
The Whipped Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temp
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla
The Strawberry Glaze & Fruit
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup strawberry puree, strained
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 5 tbsp cornstarch
The Base
- 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie crust, blind-baked
Instructions
Blind Bake: Prick dough, line with weights, and bake until golden. Cool completely.
Cream Layer: Beat cream cheese and sugar. Whip cold cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into cheese. Spread into crust and chill.
Glaze: Whisk sugar and cornstarch in a pan; stir in puree. Boil for 1 min until thick. Cool to pudding consistency.
Assemble: Stir sliced berries into glaze. Spoon over cream layer. Chill 4–6 hours.
Garnish: Pipe freshly whipped cream around edges and top with strawberry halves.
Notes
Temperature Control: Chill your bowl and whisk for 10 mins to ensure maximum whipped cream stability.
Seedless Brilliance: Straining the puree ensures a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish for a professional look.
Soggy Bottom Prevention: Ensure both the crust and the glaze are properly cooled before assembly to maintain textural contrast.
