Ohhh yes 🍓🥧 Strawberry Cool Whip Pie—light, creamy, and fruity. It’s no-bake, super easy, and perfect for summer or last-minute desserts. Here’s a classic, simple recipe:
🍓 Strawberry Cool Whip Pie
Ingredients (serves 6–8)
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (or homemade graham cracker crust)
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip, thawed (or whipped topping)
- 1 (16 oz) package fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- Optional: 1/2 cup crushed strawberries for extra juice
Topping
- Extra Cool Whip
- Fresh strawberries for garnish
- Optional: chocolate shavings or sprinkles
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare filling
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold in Cool Whip until fully combined.
2️⃣ Assemble pie
- Spread half of the cream mixture into the graham cracker crust.
- Layer sliced strawberries evenly over the cream.
- Top with remaining cream mixture, spreading smoothly.
3️⃣ Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set.
4️⃣ Garnish & serve
- Top with extra Cool Whip and fresh strawberries.
- Optional: sprinkle with chocolate shavings or festive sprinkles for presentation.
Pro Tips
- Sweetness control: if strawberries are very sweet, reduce sugar in the cream mixture slightly.
- Juicy layer: macerate strawberries in 1–2 tbsp sugar for 10–15 minutes to release extra flavor.
- Make-ahead: can be prepared a day in advance; keeps well in the fridge.
- Texture variation: fold in mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies for a surprise crunch.
🔥 Variations
- 🍫 Chocolate Strawberry Pie: fold in 1/2 cup melted chocolate into the cream mixture
- 🥭 Tropical Cool Whip Pie: swap strawberries for mango or mixed tropical fruits
- 🍋 Strawberry Lemon Pie: add 1 tbsp lemon juice and zest to cream cheese for tanginess
- 🌰 Nutty Delight: sprinkle toasted almonds or pecans between layers
I can also give a “ultra-creamy, extra-fruity strawberry Cool Whip pie” version that’s layered with fresh strawberries, crushed cookies, and a drizzle of strawberry syrup—basically dessert heaven 😏.
