- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
Strawberry Layer:
- 1 ½ to 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Chocolate Topping:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
Optional Garnish:

👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
Place the chocolate cookie crust in a pie dish if not already set. Chill it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling. - Make the cream layer:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and fluffy. - Fold in whipped cream:
Gently fold in whipped cream to create a light, airy cheesecake-style filling. - Add strawberries:
Spread sliced strawberries evenly over the bottom of the crust. - Add cream filling:
Spoon the cream mixture over the strawberries and smooth the top. - Make chocolate ganache:
Heat heavy cream until hot (not boiling), then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. - Top the pie:
Pour ganache over the cream layer and spread evenly. - Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best texture). - Serve:
Garnish with fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings before slicing.
🔥 Methods & Tips
- Use cold whipped cream for a firmer, fluffier filling.
- Let the pie chill fully so layers set properly.
- For cleaner slices, use a hot knife when cutting.
- Fresh strawberries work best, but pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.
- You can add a thin layer of melted chocolate under the strawberries for extra richness.
