A quick and easy no-bake strawberry cream pie featuring a buttery shortbread crust, fluffy cream cheese filling, and fresh red, white, and blue berries—perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups crushed shortbread cookies
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: extra whipped cream for decorating

Instructions

  1. Place the shortbread cookies in a zip-top bag and crush into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the crumbs with melted butter and sugar until combined and slightly wet.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan, forming an even ½ inch thick crust. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
  4. In a large chilled bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes). Set aside.
  5. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
  6. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until smooth and airy.
  7. Pour the cream filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to set.
  8. Just before serving, arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries on top in a red, white, and blue pattern. Add dollops of extra whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Soften cream cheese to room temperature to avoid lumps. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. For a firmer crust, freeze for 5 minutes after chilling. Fresh berries should be added just before serving to keep them firm.
