EASY NO BAKE STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE RECIPE: Fresh Strawberry Dessert with homemade vanilla wafer crust

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: mascarpone

Ricotta provides a lighter texture while still being creamy.

Wash and cut up your strawberries into thin wedges and place in a medium size bowl.

Add 2 Tbsp. sugar and stir.

Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to allow strawberries to break down and form a little syrup/juice.

Place vanilla wafers into a food processor to grind them into a powder, or place them in a large ziplock bag and break them up by running a rolling pin back & forth across the sealed bag.

Place crumbs into a bowl, add in melted butter and mix well.

Dump mixture into a pie plate and press down with a spoon or fingers to form pie crust.

Set aside the crust.

When strawberries have set long enough, add 1 Tbsp. lemon juice to them and stir.

Empty Coolwhip container into a large mixing bowl.

Fold in strawberry mixture until evenly mixed.

Pour the strawberry/Coolwhip mixture into the pie crust, using a knife or spatula to spread it across evenly.

Refrigerate pie for two hours to allow it to set.

Garnish with fresh strawberries and enjoy!
