Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for whipped cream)
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of four small (8-ounce) jars to form the crust layer. Chill the jars for 10 minutes.
Beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. This is your cream filling.
Layer the ingredients in the jars: place a layer of sliced strawberries over the crust, top with a generous layer of the cream filling, and repeat the layers until the jar is nearly full.
Top each jar with a final strawberry slice or a small dollop of remaining whipped cream.
Chill the No-Bake Strawberry Cream Pie Jars for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For a firmer crust, bake the crumbs for 5 minutes before chilling, though this is optional for a true no-bake recipe.
You can substitute shortbread cookie crumbs for graham crackers.
If you need to transport these, seal the jars with lids and keep them refrigerated until ready to eat.
