Ingredients
Crust
- 1 graham cracker crust
Filling
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for melting)
- 1 1/2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 cups Cool Whip
Topping
- 1 lb strawberries
- 5 tbsp white chocolate chips (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: In a small microwave-safe bowl, place 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and microwave in 30-second increments until melted, stirring between intervals to prevent burning. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a stand mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Gradually add powdered sugar, orange juice, and the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese, mixing well to combine.
- Incorporate Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Assemble Filling: Pour the creamy mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare Strawberries: Slice the tops off the strawberries and cut them to your desired size.
- Decorate Pie: Starting from the outer edge and working inward, gently arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the filling in a circular pattern.
- Drizzle White Chocolate: Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of white chocolate chips in a bowl and drizzle it over the top of the strawberry-decorated pie.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least one hour to allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor.
- Microwave white chocolate in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Fresh strawberries work best for topping; wash and dry thoroughly before slicing.
- Let the pie chill well to ensure the filling firms up properly.
- For a decorative touch, swirl or fan the strawberries artistically on the pie’s surface.
