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!
No-Bake Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients
- 25 chocolate wafers (such as Nabisco’s Famous Chocolate Wafers)
- 3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tsp canola oil
- Cooking spray
- 6 oz. 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
- 2 Tbsp seedless strawberry fruit spread
- 1 Tbsp Chambord
- 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 lb. small strawberries, hulled and cut in half
Place chocolate wafers in a food processor and process until finely ground. Place the chopped chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds or until the chocolate melts, stirring every 15 seconds. Add the melted chocolate and oil to the food processor, process until well combined. Gently press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate or removable-bottom tart pan coated with cooking spray. Place in the freezer 15 minutes or until set.
Place the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla into a medium bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread over bottom of the crust. Place the fruit spread in a lawrge microwave-safe bowl; microwave on HIGH for 10 seconds or until softened. Add Chambord and juice and stir with a whisk until smooth. Add berry halves and toss to combine. Arrange the berry halves over the pie. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
