INSTRUCTIONS
Make the strawberry pie filling: Cut the Strawberries into quarters. Add them to a skillet. Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, & lemon juice over it. Toss to combine. Cook until the mixture begins to boil, stirring often. Cook until the mixture gets jammy and there is no liquid. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in Lemon Zest. Set aside and allow this to cool down to room temp.
Make the graham cracker crust: If you have full sheets of Graham Crackers, add them to the food processor with granulated sugar and melted butter. Pulse for about 2-3 min or until the mixture gets coarse. Pour them into a greased 9-inch pie dish. With medium pressure of your hands, pat them down and also up to the sides to make the crust. Do not pack it too hard.
Make the frosting: Use a handheld or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat the heavy cream for 3-4 min over medium-high speed until you get stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese block and beat until it gets creamy for about 2 min. Scrape down the sides and beat until smooth and creamy. Add Confectioner's Sugar, Vanilla Extract and Sour Cream. Beat on medium high speed for 2 min or until combined. Now add the whipped cream to the cream cheese frosting and use a rubber spatula to gradually fold the mixture in. Combine very gently as you do not want all the air in the whipped cream to deflate.
Assemble the layers: Add the cream cheese layer over the crust. Spread it evenly using an offset spatula. Spoon the Strawberry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Carefully cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. (do not refrigerate for longer than 2 days)
You can garnish with whipped cream topping right before you serve. Use a clean and sharp knife to cut the slices (I generally dip the knife in a bowl of warm water, wipe it clean and then cut through the pie. It makes it so easy to cut and get neat slices of the pie).
Cover and store leftovers in an airtight container for 5 days.
