Strawberry Cream Cheese Jello Pie

By 131 Comments

One of my favorite summertime treats is this delicious Strawberry Cream Cheese Jello pie. I like to serve a refreshing and cool dessert at summer gatherings, especially during the steamy months of July and August.

We’re deep in the heart of barbecue season now, and summer entertaining and outdoor fun make it such a happy time of year. I have either burgers, hot dogs, ribs or chicken cooking on my charcoal grill nearly every day for a family dinner or a backyard party. I simply can’t get enough of it.

Of course, dessert is yet another summer essential, and when it’s as easy to make as this strawberry cream cheese jello pie, you can’t go wrong!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Jello Pie

Filled with fresh strawberries and topped with a mixture of berries, it’s not only a delectable dessert but beautiful too, and best of all, it’s really easy to make!

The strawberry JELL-O and fresh summer berries add just the right amount of sweetness to the cream cheese.

Each cool and creamy forkful will leave you smiling.

  5. This dessert is the best thing to serve during those hot and sweltering summer days. The combination of sweetness and coolness brings great relief for people who are affected by the summer heat. The dessert dish is quite a creative piece of food that mixes cream cheese with Jello-O pie.

  12. HELP! Just made this and with adding all that water, it seems to be too diluted and does not fit in the pie crust! Are your sure about adding another 1 1/2 cup water after having added 2 cups boiling water?

    Reply

    • Oh my goodness! For a 3 ounce box, it should be 1 cup boiling initially and then 1/2 cup cold after that. If you pour the mixture into a bowl and add another 3 ounce box to the one you already used, you should be able to salvage it with a lot of mixing to be sure the new gelatin dilutes properly.

    • It is a total of 11/2 cups of water. You dissolve the jello in one cup of boiling water and then you add 1/2 cup of water after you beat in the cream cheese. The directions are pretty straight forward. I am not sure why you thought you were supposed to add another 1 1/2 cups of water.
