How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Pie
This easy strawberry shortcake recipe is so delicious, and so fun to make too! It’s absolutely filled to the brim with amazing ingredients, and I love assembling the layers to create the perfect pie. You will make the cream cheese filling to layer into the pie, but there’s no baking involved. It’s mostly just a matter of layering up all of the ingredients!
Let’s talk about those layers and how to make this pie (starting from the bottom layer):
- Pie Crust – you can make your own if you prefer, but a store-bought pie crust works just fine (and makes this recipe much easier).
- Cream Cheese Mixture – Beat cream cheese until light & smooth, and mix with powdered sugar, white chocolate, and almond & vanilla extract.
- Pound Cake – Again, you can make your own, but I like Sara Lee’s pound cake, and store-bought makes this recipe quick and easy. Cut the cake into 1/4 in slices and place in a single layer on top of the cream cheese. Cut smaller pieces of cake to fill in gaps and make an even layer.
- Strawberry Mixture – Mix fresh sliced strawberries with the strawberry glaze to get that fresh made texture. Apply a layer of this on top of the cake layer.
- Another layer of the pound cake.
- Another layer of the cream cheese filling.
- Another layer of the strawberry glaze on top.
- Add some cool whip, drizzled white chocolate, and sliced strawberries on top for decoration (optional).
This creates the most beautiful strawberry shortcake pie! I love how easy it is to just buy the ingredients and make the pie, layer by layer, without any extra hassle. Like I said, you can always make some of these ingredients homemade (pound cake, strawberry glaze, pie crust), but that wouldn’t be quite as easy!
