While I need no excuse to make a strawberry dessert in this house, I felt like I owed it to my husband to make this the other night. You see, his birthday dessert that always features strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate cake was somewhat of a fail due to humidity. While I do plan on making that up to him, I decided to whip this together to enjoy after a long week.

We’re all looking for great desserts right now that don’t require turning on that oven. Add some wonderful ripe strawberries and a recipe that is quick and easy to boot, and you’ve got yourself a great summer dessert! With just a few steps, you can be sitting back and enjoying this delicious pie that everyone in my household loves. Sssh, no one realized it used cream cheese either!

As I mentioned, this is a quick recipe so don’t pull any more shortcuts! Make your own crust, it will be so much better than a store bought and it doesn’t take long at all. You’ll be glad you did! Besides, you get to take a shortcut with the whipped cream! If you can, do yourself a favor and add the raspberry liqueur. Our liquor stores up here offer mini bottles which are great for times when you only need a little bit. After adding the whipped cream and cream cheese filling, I let it cool in the refrigerator while I prepared the strawberries. I feel like this gave it enough time to firm up slightly so the strawberries didn’t smush the layer. There were a few comments on the recipe regarding this, but I think this solved that problem nicely. Also, this softens up quickly, so do not remove it from the refrigerator until you are ready to serve!
